No, but at the price I got it for i wasn't going to grumble ;)

They look very nice :thumbup:

I would do 'unsavoury' things for seats like those Bryan, :giggle: very nice!! Much nicer without the all-too-easily stained/worn alcantra and that stupid mesh.

Don't get me wrong, the VRS standard seats are nice, just not really suitable for anything other than a showroom though. My leather has cracked around the bolsters, the mesh frayed and fuzzy and the alcantra worn and bobbled. All black leather is what they should have been in the first place.

What had happened to the donor car, if you don't mind me asking?

Have you thought of retrofitting rear electric windows? It shouldn't be that big of a job, should it? Wondering if all the wiring is already there, and it's just a case of changing the window switch on the driver's door, and VCDS coding to tell the car it has rear electrics.

It seems a real shame to spoil such a beautiful looking interior with non-matching door cards.

I'm guessing it wouldn't be that easy Mike - there'll be no rear motors for starters

It would make the kids lazy anyway, and I never have to sit in the back

Still reckon it was pretty cheap of Skoda not to make them standard on the vRS, especially as they were std on the previous incarnation. A bit like going backwards really...

Can you not swap out the switch and drill a hole for the winder spindle to poke through?

Are these seats out of another estate? as I know on the MKI the estate door panels are slightly shorter than on a saloon.

For once Bryan i like one of your mods :rofl:

Edit - Oh yeah i liked the Calito's too so thats 2 but i think thats it :p

Only just seen this with the fronts in... ACE!!! :thumbup:

Cheers Sim - now I know what you see in leather :giggle:

  • 3 weeks later...

Shame they don't fit the mk1. :'(

After a week of trucking around with standard vRS fronts and LE rears, I managed to spend part of Saturday getting the fronts in

As the seats were out I thought I might as well get an underseat storage box fitted under the driver's seat as well

I'm well chuffed :)

(rears can be seen here)

I was wondering how you got these LE seats! also I agree that these really should have been standard on the latest vRS's.
