Title: 2003 Omega GLS. Anyone recognise these
Post by: Elite Pete on 23 September 2012, 18:29:00
These are the seats fitted to my 2003 GLS, anyone seen them or anything like them before? Non heated and only electrical adjustment for up and down.

I don't know if I should leave these in or fit the grey Elite leather out of my other one :-\

Uhm that's what I was thinking. I had a very late Carlton & that didn't have side air bags.

The Carlton didn't have the center rear headrest either.

but rear head restraints don't fit to the seats ..... they fit to the rear parcel shelf.  ;)

I guessed so.  ;) ;) ;)
I've had look through eBay & found this]=ttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vauxhall-Senator-Bii-3-0i-CD-/221126859772?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item337c301bfc#ht_739wt_1186]this (http://=ttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vauxhall-Senator-Bii-3-0i-CD-/221126859772?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item337c301bfc#ht_739wt_1186) proper Vauxhall - its seats are nothing like Elite Pete's & the only Carltons with leather are Lotus which are different again.
I would have thought though, that it wouldn't be too difficult to retro side air bags to a seat ........  :-\ :-\

Not sure about that, IIRC my Diplomat did as I took it out because it obstructed thte rearview mirror.

I reckon it's been re-upholstered - the stitching dont look right to be Vx factory - IMHO

Same here - from dim memory aren't they just "seamed" along the base?

Tops of Saab 95 are angled in

Holy thread resurrection, I know - I got bored at work and was contemplating swapping my seats (again) - how likely are Saab 9-3 or 9-5 seats to fit into an 03 Omega? Ignoring the wiring, I just mean physical fitting, side-rail spacing, etc...

ETA - I'm basing this idea on them both being GM products
