Hi All

 

We've recently gotten a 2005 VRS for our son, which has the white(?)/black seats in it.  I've managed to find a decent set of LE seats, which are currently winging their way to us.

 

The standard seats are in pretty good order, as car has only covered just over 60K miles.  My question is; Are these standard seats sought after by people wanting originality, and therefore have some inherent value, or once I've got them out should I just take them down to the local tip?

 

Cheers

I'd say check Sold Listings on eBay.

It would be a waste to take them to the tip but they don't seem to make good money when trying to sell them.

I would probably put them on ebay with a low starting price.

I reckon there is a market for them, if they’re in good nic??

Standard Fabia vRS seats probably will have a good market for them once they have all but vanished. Only then will folks be able to get sensible money for them as they will be simply unavailable anywhere.

 

I'm afraid that is probably a long way off so for now they are not worth a great deal.

 

My advice would be to put them in the loft, hang onto them if you have the room and flog them in a few years time

What ever you do dont skip them .. As Lofty advised put them somewhere warm, dark and dry. 

 

The vRS seats are not that easy to keep right especially with our two rascals and juice and sticky stuff - Add in a bicycle or 2 and my seats are in a right state !! My fronts are Octavia vRS Mk1 half leather so its a total mismatched affair !!

 

Tide is starting to turn on the Fabia vRS as ratty chavvy abused examples are getting culled at quite a rate. 

 

in about 5 years time when the vRS gets the recognition it so rightly deserves they will be worth good money to anybody doing a resto. 

 

Try to get an interior for a 90's Nova GTE to see how you get on .... I saw mint ones 20 years ago for £40 .... The Fabia will definitely follow this trend  so well worth hoarding if you have the place for them !👍

Don’t worry guys and gals, these will be going to a decent home and will be well looked after 🤗

 

I’ve had my Fabia since 2011 and have done well to keep them as clean as I have, especially given my job. But yeah, bit of a PITA to keep tip top. 

 

Gonna look for some kind of spray-on protector before I put them in …. And some very decent car seats for week days!

I got a full set of (arguably rarer) Mk1 fabia sport seats, in decent nick for 100 euro. Its hard to find decent vRS seats but would be even harder finding someone to buy them.

I see a fair few rough sets of vRS seats up around the £80-100 mark but I don't see them sell.

I'd say clean vRS' are hard found already, especially in the south.
