did you recover the rear bench in the leather (as in the tutorial), or straight swap...

also what kind of modification is needed to fit rear cards.. or not worth it.

cheers

I have some but they are going in my astra.

But i can tell you that the cali rear seat bit you sit on has 2 clips per side, 4 in total. In the corsa there is only 2 clips.

rear seat base is a straight swap the back part you have to remove the leather from the cali frame and put it only the corsa frame. pretty easy to do took me about 15-20 mins to do the rears

honestly m8 i fitted calibra rear leather into my 1999 v reg corsa b ls without any modification honestly im not lying....as for the rear doorcards ive found out that the little black brackets that the clips slide into to attach them to the body need to be took off and replaced where the holes are for the corsa clips and they fit straigt in.......

cheers, i got the swapping sussed,

just i seen that a corsa on here had rear door cards from the calibra, and someone said modding them slightly would get them to fit, but not sure how?

once ive taken the old ones out il see if i can put something together i suppose.

thanks for help anyway.

p.s - do you completely strip rear backrests, then stuff with the foam, then recover - just to be clear.
