Well what a day it has been totally shattered, today me and my good mate mark (MJ) from here, have spent all day fitting the SRi rear seats
1st job was to get the old ones out, had a bit of a problem with a stiff bolt out of the 2, finally got that out
put the new seats in, no problems, bolted them down, then my mate tested the center silver seatbelt it won't work  MOT FAILURE! noooooo
so we set to work taking the seat apart, to get to the seat belt inside, undid all the bolts on the back and all the clips etc, we then peer'd inside the seat, to find the actual catch part is broken pin had fallen out, so took it off and fixed it, seat catch now fixed, seat belt works!
then after moving the rear seat about lots of noises coming from the otherseat, we then set about taking the material off of it, all the backing off it etc, the poles inside that hold the head rests in place were all shattered, bits everywhere, so cleaned that out and took new parts from my old seats, we then replaced each part, and we made a new headrest hole for the center seat!
got them all in now, good hoover out and washed the seats with soapy water!
pics to come! 
seats in with middle head rest yet to be changed! from the front!
pics of the fronts in
rear sorted and 6x9's put back in!

yes rob the fronts are much more supportive compared to old seats, you don't move when you go round a roundabout any more lol
the old seat pattern was red
heres the old seats
the rears were £40 inc delievery
I paid £100 for the fronts came out of a 3 week old SRi
all i need now is corsa club door cards which are black, back and fronts to finish!
