checked on here found a guide but the pictures dont load/work..

Does anyone have a decent guide of fitting reclining buckets on a VTR ?

I got these with sub frames:

Is it a simple case of remove my seat and put these in place (with frames)

also the air bag issue what do i need to put in the wire to loop it back so it doesnt flash all the time + do i need to take the battery out whilst doing the seats?

If any one has a picture or two of some fitted that would be great also! (:

Thanks guys.

its very straight forward to swap seats out air bag is up to u really as u can either tape over the light on the dash or put a resister in the wire.
but back to seats unscrew the four bolts holding the originals in, take of original belt part if your using it.
bolt in new seats can;t really go wrong

prolly do the resistor, maybe a silly question but doing so will this effect the air bag going off atall?...

+ thanks for the reply.

think it should just fool the electrics into thinking the seats are plugged in. i just taped over my bulb as i remived air bag with new wheel anyway

As long as you have actual subframes for the Saxo/106 and not just the universal rails/sliders then its an easy job. Four bolts and stand on your head for the rear outside one.

The seats came out of a peugeot 106 and the sub frames came also which were made for the seat apparently for a saxo / 106 so this should be a fairly simple remove my frames and seats then replace with new frames and seats?

+ can anyone link me to the resistor needed / where locally sell them (retail)

Thanks guys big help!

Bit of a question. should be putting these in tomorrow not had time but where the wire is connected to on the original seat can i not take the unit its connected to out and place it under my buckets? Saves doing the resistor etc?
