fitted the interior tonight. front was quick job, changed the backrest metal frame over but not sure what to do with the bench part as its not just a frame swap as such. please could someone explain how to go about it. also do you have to change the seltbelts to get the clip part through the leather bench as dont think the standeds will be long enough?

this is the best of what ive found doing a search but ime abit scared to start pulling things apart. staple gun sounds abit of a bodge although prob be able to get a heavy duty one.
to fit mine, i recoverd the corsa]
the back (bit you sit on)
take out the metal frame from the corsa seat (have to cut it out the foam with a knife)
unclip the one from the calibra seat, and clip the corsa frame to the calibra (might have to have some help there cause you have to pull it hard)
Back rest
"simply unclip the leather of the black metal and clip back onto the corsa,
in my case my corsa was one piece, not split like the calibra, but it still coverd onto it"
can you buy the meatl clips that the original uses and if so whats the proper name for them?

nothing you can do about that, the calibra ones are the same length as the corsa ones.

the heater switches can be mounted in the bit either side of the sliding air re circulation thing!take the plastic surround off and you may have the wiring already there mate.Then find the loom situated under the front seats(taped under the cross member beneath the front seats).
