i'm guessing that VL S2 rails will bolt to a VL S1 floorpan??

Does anybody know if VR seats will bolt in a VK?

I'm in love with it Sorry to go off topic but do you have anymore pictures of your old car natho?

VR/VS SS seats fall under the same category as the Calais etc of the same model I assume?

this sounds sweet as, but i also need TAN seats to suite my beige interior. My bt1's an 88, that makes it a s2 eh, im just being cautious cos i wouldnt be suprised if its different being a bt1, government car and all. What is the easyest way (apart from wat year it was built) to determine whether iv got a s1 or s2 vl?

vb-vk had no catalylic convertor and a different floor pan on the lhs

Ok so if i have a S1 calais wat do i need to fit VR seats??? a set of VL s2 rails and a pair of VR seats is that it???? bolt 1 to the other and it will fit in my S1 calais is this right????

wat series would my car be if it is a 87 sl

i always thought the main thing to easily tell if its a S1 or S2 is that series 1 had chrome door handles and S2 had black.

There should be something on your ID plate that distinguishes, I think there was a thread on it. Try searching for "VIN calculator" there's a full run-down on what all the letters and numbers mean (build date, options etc). Easiest way to tell is S1 have chrome door handles, S2 have black...

ok. i am getting some VR seats tomorrow which have already been put in a VL but i will take lots of pics and do an article on putting these in a VL.

seats are in today. seats are almost identical from VL-VS

I would love to know that too? How do the new seats look? are you posting Pics soon? :-)

just the general sea itself. its a lot firmer but its basically a revised version of the VL seat. basically all the mechanisms are the same

like i said! the VL s2 - VS use the same seats, all you have to do to fit them is bolt on the VL rails as they suit the floorpan in the VL.

yeah pretty much. i dont reckon its worth writing a technical on how to do this. maybe just edit this thread and put it in the technical section. If anyone wants me to write a technical on how its done then raise your hand otherwise i wont bother. its just that easy.
