Title: Wanted FL Estate Leather interior
Post by: Zuffenhausen on 08 October 2015, 21:16:41
As per the subject line, ideally light grey but I know this is a big ask.

Will the back seats from a MFL Elite fit?
I know the fronts are different due to airbags etc

If you can find a pic of the interiors you will notice the stitching/stle of the seat is of a different type, theoretically they will just bolt straight in. Front seats gain trick moving head restraints for rear impact on the FL, but in theory you can bolt in a 1994 seat in your 2003 car, and 2003 seats in your 1994 car (but there are various moral/legal/safety hoops, regarding aribags etc, but for physical boltholes lining up, yes you can)

The rear seats on FL estates gain anti-load intrusion securing lock feature.. thing. No idea if this affects how the seats fit, or indeed if for instance fitting FL rear seats in a PFL would fit, and therefore actually gain you this feature. Again, pretty sure MFL ones will fit in a FL estate no worries.

Often used to see (saloon) taxis rolling around my town with PFL interiors fitted to FL cars.  :)

Mod please delete this an the above quote post. Hit the wrong button. That'll teach me to type and eat a bacon butty at the same time. Turns out men can't multitask, then ::) :D

Rear seat will bolt straight in across the range, saloon and estate, but estate will only fit estates, and saloons will only fit saloons... :y

Load intrusion interlock thingy is a sliding bolt that joins the top edge of the backrest together...  :y

 :) Oh I can get them to shut up... but after a minute of two they have to take a breather, as it's a chocking hazard...  ;)


And good to know, I knew the load intrusion thing came in, but had no idea if it affected the actual shell of the car or not. Hope the OP is sorted now  :y

Later cars have an interlock on the nearside catch to prevent the centre belt being used if the nearside backrest is unlatched...
