you will have to modify the back to fit. and the front should if not its not hard to change the rails over

Just swap the rails over I replaced the vl calais seats in mine with some VN calais ones, and they are sooo much nicer. Still wondering what to do with the back seat, I think the bottom section will need remoulding. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Its just the rails you need to swap over and they will be fine!

i got vs berlina interior in mine (out of sam's old car) the front are awsome fit but the back are really tight.. he had the middle section (where the arm rest is) trimmed down.. So dont get it cut or anything, just trim the middle section as if you fcuk it you can grab a new one from the wrecker. Also where you sit, only one side clips in but becuase it is so tight it doesnt move.. ill try to grab some pics.. all i need now is a parcell shelf out of a vt or other model to sit a bit higher in the back to help cover the higher sitting back seat.

Are you just talking about cutting away some of the foam? Be interested to hear, havn't got around to putting the backs in yet because of the width issue!

The only thing that doesnt line up is the inside front bolt if you use the VN rails. all the rest do, I have VP seats in My VLT. But yeah just have to change the inside rail of the driver seat everything else is ok... Cheers.

Be interested to hear, havn't got around to putting the backs in yet because of the width issue! yeah the foam bit in the middle i chopped it up and used glue to hold all together again.. i would be interested to see if anyone got the bottom half to sit in the rail holders.. Also i had to drill 1 new hole on the driver side rail next to the auto bc it wasnt matching the existing holes.. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yea i got the rear base and back to fit. Base is secured by the rails and has been trimmed on either side and i also cut the sides of the back piece to make it even so the colour patters on the seat still lines up.

You need to get an Autotrimmer to take about 3inches out of the rear seat, and weld on some new clips etc so the seat can hook in. If the rear is a 3 piece seat (VP onwards) then the trimmer I spoke too (Autoimage) said they trim off foam from the middle, and then make it a 1 piece back. I was quoted $500 all up....

You have to swap the inner seat runner with a vl s2 - vs passenger outside seat runner.

If the rear is a 3 piece seat (VP onwards) then the trimmer I spoke too (Autoimage) said they trim off foam from the middle, and then make it a 1 piece back. I was quoted $500 all up.... Absolutely correct!!!!!!!! Take 3 inches out of the middle of the seat and use the metal frame out of the vl rear seat to match the floor. This applies from vn-vs seats. The trimmer you use (if decent) should be able to modify your seat cover and not actually have to replace any materials but only alter patterns! The rear squabs also need light alterations to fit correctly and line up. I have just done a trim for a VC wagon in leather with cut down VP Calais rear cushion and a custom squab altered to suit as a sedan will not fit a wagon.If anyone is interested to see what it looks like I will have pics to e-mail in a couple of weeks. And guys if interested PM me and I can certainly look after you! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

It will bolt straight in! The drivers side is only different in the front bolt hole on the inside next to the centre console! You have to swap that inner seat runner with the Passenger side outer off a VL S2 - VS seat. Other than that there is no other difference and they will bolt straight in! Possibly your seat may be damaged!
