Hi Folks,

My first post, so I am hoping you dont string me up for heresy. I am of the practical persuasion rather than a slave to authenticity.

I have purchased what I hope to be a fairly good late example TL. Havent actually seen the vehicle in personyet, but the seller has been a true gent and I am quietly confident. That said I have been advised, and from photos it seems clear, the seats are a bit of a letdown.

Can anyone advise if it is easy to swap front seats with that from a more modern vehicle - a clio for instance. Indeed having had spinal surgery last year I can claim dispensation on medical grounds!

thanks in advance
Doug

Welcome! Looks like a Spanish car, am I right?

As the seats I saw lots of people installing fairly simply MK1 Twingo ones

How can you tell? I am a novice,. though I was married in a R4 in 1991

Excellent they shouldnt be hard to find.
thanks very much Leonardo. I have a thought to bring the wee beauty from Granada to Liguira. Any thoughts on the height of the beauracratic mountain I might have to climb,. or will it actually be molto liscio?
 
I have a pair of Clio Baccara seats in my F6. Easy swap for my car. Bur for a Berline you need to do some welding and remodeling of the rails To make them fit.
 
A Berline is the 4 seater version you have.
My F6 is the bigger van version. Sits 2 and a tremendously big trunk.
