:eyes4u: Pure class there, Roy. Lovely looking chairs and at first, before noticing the mouldings on the front ones, I'd thought that they might have been P6 ones, as - apart from the absence of the ET head restraints - they have that sort of look to them. A marvellous upgrade. :thumbsup:

With the value of Rover 45s, this may just bring the remaining ones off the road to be broken for seats.....I mean parts.

Those are the dogs, I really like those. You'll also note they are the same as the Rover 75 seats which opens up new possibilities of cream and blue. You just need to wire in those side airbags now.

Dont forget the MG version for sporty half leather too.
Sorry no, the Rover 75 rear seat is too bulky.

I know you said no mods needed to the car but did you have to alter the seat themselves in any way?
Also how do the back seats attach?

Ah, yes sorry rear seats are different. The MG seats might actually be too bulky and don't wear very well from experience.

Rover 45s can also donate their wheels to Triumph Acclaims (same PCD). Sorry for going slightly off topic.

John, I know where you're coming from with the rear seats. The do remind me of Rover P6 ones. A mate of mine had a P6. This might be something I'll do with Brown if you can get the seats in tan. The dreaded MoT takes priority.

Roy, I can just about see the door speaker. I thought you might have gone for the "hidden speaker" installation. This was done on my Sprint. I think it was done when Carl owned it. The speakers were installed inside the door cavity at the bottom and the card was cut but not the covering which allowed the sound to come out and kept the speaker out of view.

Very nice! :eyes4u:

If the car didn't need any modification to take the front runners,did you have to alter the runs or swap runs etc ? and how do the rear seats attach ?

Thanks
