Change seats

[Guest]

I wanna replace the seats front and back in my BL5 leggy, how difficult is it to replace them esp. the drivers side as its fully electric.???

Anyone know where I can get a secondhand leather set in Aucks???

Cheers,

Williis.

I've been looking at doing the same with my BE B4.

As far as I can see with mine the front seats just have 4 bolts holding them down and a couple of wire clips for power / heat / what have you.

As for the back ones I believe they just lift up apparently.

Are you wanting to completely replace the seats, or just go with leather? If you just strip off the cloth and replace it with leather, it would still look new. I THINK that's different than just getting a leather seat cover, and that it's actually having a leather seat. Hopefully an expert will chime in. Granted, if you could find replacement leather seats, that'd probably be easier and cheaper.

I asked a couple of shops about replacing my cloth seats with leather, and one quoted me $2250 for leathering the seats and doors, while another one quoted $2700-$3000.

If you do figure out where to find leather seats, please let me know. I'm looking for em as well.

I've also been wanting leather for mine for ages now.

There was a guy on trademe I knew of that was selling a full set and door cards too for about $500.

[Guest]

Is there a reason why you guys are looking to just replace the seats altogether, instead of getting the cloth replaced by leather?

[Guest]

cost probly,

when you can find a full set of seats and door cards in leather for $500-$600 secondhand, thats a fair load cheaper than the $2500-$3000 you mentioned

A couple of questions that I hope some of you guys can answer:

- Will WRX STi seats fit into the Legacy B4?

- Does anyone have a site that has seats that can fit into B4?

A lot of BP/BL have airbags in the front seats. If they do then you cannot fit aftermarket or earlier model seats.

You can have them removed and retrimmed though.
