bill comer Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I want to change the standard rear seats primarily to improve head support but added leg room would be a bonus. I know the exmoor trim option is valid, but I just wondered what other solutions might be out there, including scrap yard options. Please show me yours.

UdderlyOffroad Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Rear Seats out of a Renault Scenic. They are in effect 3 independently adjustable thrones, allowing your backseat passengers a bit more legroom. I picked up a complete set of half leather jobs for 50notes from my local scrapper. This includes the fronts, though I'm not sure these will fit - they should do though, as they're designed to be bolted onto a flat surface. I can't show you any pictures yet as I have yet fit them, but my inspiration came from this thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Putting the Puma 2007-on Defender 2nd row seats in is a good modification, they are far superior to the pre-2007 ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Fronts in the back for me, works well & added storage is very useful: http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=40580 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UdderlyOffroad Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Front seat options include (in descending order of cost/availibilty, imho): Exmoor Trim RRC fronts or rear bench Disco front MX5 seats (speaker in headrest!) Ford Ka fronts Renault Scenic fronts (don't quote me on this, have yet to try!) But I guess it depends what you can get at your local scrapper that's in good nick - for this you'll need a scrapper that's happy to let you wonder - not all are. Speaking personally, my seat trimming skills are nil, whereas I'm reasonably handy at fabricating brackets and the like; so I consider it a better investment of my time making a reasonably mint seat fit than try to rescue my tatty OE ones!
