Which seats fit Leon, go straight in?

[Seat til I die]

I have been having a think about putting some leathers in the Leon.

Would be grateful if we could get this thread going in the direction of a;
what interior fits,
what fits with minor alterations,
what fits but you have to REALLY WANT THEM TO FIT and
what plain doesnt fit.

The usual vags spring to mind obviously, A3, A4, A6, A8?? Golf, Bora, Passat, Polo?? Toledo, Octavia... etc.
Then Im wondering, Porsche, Chrysler, Ford... the list is pretty endless.

Almost anything is possible, I remember back in the day when we were rocking AXGTs and Metro MPis my mate had a set of full leathers out of a Jeep Cherokee in his AX, wonderful!! Fully electric too!!

Front seats are going to be easier to fit into than rear seats, but I am open to a mix n match as long as I can find the same colours eg. black A3 rear seats with Porsche up front

Also they have an 'X'reg A6 with some smart leathers in my local scrappy for breaking, he wants £300 for 'em, will that interior give me any joy??

For seats that will literally bolt straight in, anything from the Golf4/A3/Skoda platform will fit..

sat in a new cupra the other day , made me think would the new cupra seats fit in a mk1 leon LCR ?

doubtful without some hard work

A6, front and rear??

The reason the Leon will accept certain car seats from within the VAG group with ease, is because they share the under-carriage/floor-plan of their sister and brother companies. Mk4 Golfs, A3s etc are all cool..

But an A6 will need work done on the sub-frame because they're a completely different floor-pan. If you're a good DIYer, anything will fit.

Try top of the line leather R32 seats from the Mk4. Sexual.

so skoda octavia vrs go straight in, no messing... front and rear???

 

[LiCkWiD]

That's the "theory", mate.

 

[Stu_pot]

Mk1 Octy yes, they go in.

As Likwid says, the Konig seats from a MK4 R32 are lovely, I lived with a set for 2 years and still miss them now. Rare beasts and pricey though.

Mk1 Octy while comfy are not very supportive and you tend to slide around a lot on the leather.

Mk4 cloth GTi recaro seats are plentiful, affordable and do the job nicely!

The Mk4 R32 Interior - Konig seats. Woah.

 

[Stu_pot]

No, those are MK5 R32 seats and made by Recaro I believe.

 

[LiCkWiD]

My bad. I think you're right.

The weird thing is, when i found this pic.. I was a little mystified by the lack of any substantial side-bolster support.. I remembered the mk4 seats being more cupped... or bucketed.

Sorry, here we go.

dont think id want the skoda or gti cloth seats over the lcr chairs anyway tbh...
the MK4 R32 ones tho, yes, very yes.

Was also thinking Audi seats, full leather. Or Porsche front and something else rear...

Plus the R32'S have the 'R' logo which goes with the Cupra 'R'

I have the RECARO interior from the AUDI S3. Straight Fit


Basically , any interior from Audi A3 / Golf 4 Platform will be a str8 fit...

Thought I'd already said that?

It's good to confirm

 

[dainott2105]

what about the rear seats though?

 

[UncleFester]

As long as it's a 4 door it should be fine? Also worth remembering that the airbag connectors on the front seats may be different

sexxxxxxxxx wee, but at about 1k for a used set not cheap

yes rear benchs from a3/mk4s 4 doors fit

 

[UncleFester]

There's a full leather set almost brand new on ukmkivs for £1500 at the moment .....
