sorry mate but one car is a Skoda Octavia, the other is a Seat Leon..........not even close :rofl Don't mistake the fact that the indicator stalk and aircon controls are the same. You wouldn't try and swap the dahboard would you?

Why not just get a leather retrim from Seat Doctor?

You will never get another vehicles interior to fit, let alone make it look anything other than a half arsed attempt IMHO

I would have gone with yes personally , assuming the floorpans are the same , dont see why not as the mounting points will be okay , the rears may be more of a problem tho , just go to a show room and look at how the mountings are orientated .

its a complete guess tho so check , i managed to fit mk4 seats in my vr6 but obviously had to fabricate brackets but it worked brilliantly and looked factory

OK, Front Seats possibly but the rest - rear bench.......hmmmm.........door cards......no way............so whats left?

Looks like this "interior swap" is actually a front seat change!

Personally I would be keeping an eye out for a vRS interior

They do come up from time to time on Ebay

I know Browny_37 got one, and I have seen them myself.

They go for around £400 for the complete interior.

Alternatively how about some recaro seats for the front and a retrim of the rear bench to match them.

I also looked into that when I was the owner of your car, and I had quotes of around £1200 for 2 recaros and a rear bench retrim fully fitted.

obviously i would not be fitting door cards, its silly to even think that, i was thinking of seats, i think its a good chance they will fit, and no i would not try to swap a dash, whos talking about dash swap? lol, anyways....

the guy measured the bech for me which was 50" length, hes getting back to me on width, ill look and check conections and stuff, in a show room

i can pick up the mk1 vrs interior but they dont fit i have been told?

also going back to the comment in seats and stuff not fittin. alot of vag cars have same fixtures and if you done some research you would be surprised to find what would fit were. ;)

You are correct - LOTS of stuff is interchangable however my point is so you change the seats - they are trimmed differently to the doors so you've got to do something about them otherwise it looks cack. Why not just do as somebody else said and go for a complete VRS interior?

At the end of the day you've got a really nice car - and I mean REALLY nice - I'd have given my left testicle for a red one!! It would be a shame to end up with anything less than an improvement - after all thats the point of the whole excercise however it is very easy to actually reduce the value of your vehicle by doing things like this unless you do it really well. Fitting a VRS interior would actually add valiue to the car and you are totally confident that it will fit!

Oh and the dash - I was taking the p**s :thumbup:

Front seats will fit and the rears might as people have moved A3 interiors into the Octy and the Golf.

Worth measuring things up and the rest.

You would need the interior from something on a Golf MK V platform to fir a MK II Octy, but as above it's not a certainty.

there you go!

Personally I'd check the condition a bit first but the good thing with leather is it ages quite well. As long as there are no rips then you can give it a good clean, feed it and off you go.

Trust me this will do the job better than any Seat / Skoda / Golf combination interior :thumbup:
