I cant fit my rear seats 
After nearly a year i have got round to trying to fit the rears in my car. They are the same as my front seats, off Anups old car.
His was an L-reg and mine is a V-reg. Mine has 60/40 seats his is a one peice bench.
All i can say is. Fuck. Never gunna fit Thought it would be as simple as changing the rear panelling for pre 97 stuff. The actuall part of the shell where the seats mount at the bottom is completely different on my car totally the wrong shape.
I have managed to squeeze them in any way and there is a 2cm gap at the bottom Between the back and the bench. So it looks shit.
Now looking at possibly getting my 60/40 original sport seats re-trimmed.    
Anyone reccomend me a retrimmer?

Is that possible? We were going to lob my seats in snowy, but sure that way round would be even more difficult?
