Where can I get a arm rest from ? I need one in my life !

It's nothing new but I'm well pleased with the outcome. Thanks to deano for the original how to, pastyboy for the help and the more in depth how to, mattie for the armrest Idea and rickvrs for the bargain seats!!

Had to make the holes bigger to get two of the headrest clips in and for around the middle seatbelt hole. So they could do with properly trimming, but for how little use the rear gets- I think it'll do. Fully functioning middle seatbelt and middle headrest too (but don't have the middle In as I think it blocks too much of the rear window).

Looks spot on! How much did it cost in total if you don't mind me asking?

Well in total, including the spline bits, extra under seat storage, new runner bolts and one or two other little bits I bought to do them, I'm about £20 better off lol. That's taking in to account selling my old vrs seats as parts. So can't complain! Just takes a few hours messing, but is rewarding though. Was the cleaning of the white bits which took the longest.

You did well there. How much did your seats go for? I got £102 for mine the other week

had you a 3 point middle belt in the car before?

Did you upolster the seats yourself? Or are they from another car?

They are octavia vrs seats

Yeah, had a middle one on my standard seats.

I put in some octavia vrs seats over the weekend myself. Was not able to keep the 3 point middle seatbelt but have the headrest.

I dont think it blocks the view that much but I'll see how it goes.

Nice nice! Massive improvement aren't they. How come you didn't do the middle belt, did you not have one on your standards? Did you trim the foam on the double rear piece, or just ram it in?

As nice as they look with the 1/2 leather, I actually find the original Fabia vRS seats more comfy and supportive than those in the mk1 Octavia.

Agree with you there mate. This one's purely for aesthetics lol. Nice having the adjustable lumbar support too.

Cool to see more people doing this! I prefer octavia seats to the fabia vrs ones

 

Noone can beat my bargain of £22 for a full set of seats haha

I wouldn't be too sure the seat surgeon leathers I've got fitted stand me at £18 after I sold my seats and I got a pd160 intake and trumpet, vrs foot rest, polo cup holder and matching arm rest in with that
