Seat Bolsters

[hexhamstu 9]

someone on here said they had made their own bolsters, anyone got any photos of doing this and where to buy the foam from? how did you do it etc. a basic guide would be nice.

[Mad Scientist 106]

I had a bolster in my Impreza replaced at a coach trimmers and it only cost £30.

I butchered a passenger seat and swapped them over - considering you can buy a set of 205 seats for just a few quid: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/205-gti-seats

 

There's a guide to swapping them over on this site HERE and the pictures from when I changed mine can be found HERE.

This is something on my to do list while car is away.

 

I think i read of people using 306 bolsters too ? With some trimming. Though a passenger side one would be simpler

I have four , yes FOUR , yes 4 , perfect bolsters spare

Lol,

 

 

 

Someone was selling brand new genuine peugeot bolsters for the drivers side on ebay a few months ago (probably a year or so ago actually) I really wish I had bought some as they were under a tenner! I cantfind anywhere that sells them, I think pug only sell the whole base of the seat in one....

[Rom 0]

Aye should have snapped them up for that price !

 

Service Box only lists the base, not bolsters.

 

Scrap yard it is for me

Mm, I bought one off ebay last year for under a tenner, havent got round to fitting it yet, although it does look easy enough.

[hexhamstu 9]

I have four , yes FOUR , yes 4 , perfect bolsters spare :D

sell them to me?

[Tesstuff 222]

Yes why not

 

I have no problem selling you these prime condition rare parts

[Alastairh 47]

I think i have a pair also...

if i could jump in on this one, if anyone has a spare left over that they wouldnt mind posting to ni i'd be very grateful. i stuffed my drivers side bolster about two years ago with some old cushion foam and it really doesnt look the best now, i've kept an eye out but you rarely see scrapped gti's over here, ta.

[hexhamstu 9]

Yes why not

[Tesstuff 222]

How many do you need Petesty71 ?

 

I have four and Alistair seems to have two, so we should be able to sort you both out between us.

 

They seem to be worth just under £10 a piece, is that about right ?

[Alastairh 47]

you rarely see scrapped gti's over here, ta.

 

Don't forget XS's, Dturbo's aswell

 

I will have to dig them out my garage, but i seem to recall some in the pit 2 months back when i moved.

 

Al

[hexhamstu 9]

are the base bolsters the same as the top/side bolsters?

[Alastairh 47]

No.

i only need the one tesstuff, drivers side, closest to the door. if stu and rom get sorted out an anyone has one left over i'd be glad to pay whatever it is.

 

Don't forget XS's, Dturbo's aswell wink.gif

I could do with a pair if anyone has any spare willing to pay going rate plus p&P

[Tesstuff 222]

Ok i have read this thread to clarify the time and date of posts , then collated that with the pm's i received on the subject and it seems that the two lucky recipients of the perfect mint rare bolsters are :-

 

Hexhamstu and Rom

 

So you will both receive two bolsters each by post as soon as you want.

 

I think £10 each bolster is a fair price plus the postage.

 

There are 7 people on the list so if that isn't acceptable i can move onto the next one in the list with the offer

 

Over to you Haxhamstu and Rom

i cant afford £20 + postage so pass them on to the next person....

 

(still kicking myself for scrapping a gti with a perfectly good passenger seat.)

[stufarri 98 3 Cars]

Keep a look out on Ebay.

 

I got the whole set of seats - I only wanted the passenger bolster - for 99p.

 

The front seats were of no use really apart from butchering, but the rears are spot on - fromn an early 1.6 if anyone wants them?

 

The downside was I had to collect them from Arnside in the lower Lakes - tied it in with a walk with the Mrs and a fine pub lunch - winner!

[Paulmac19 4]

if any of yous have any more bolsters i would take one at that price for drivers seat door pocket side!

[platty 1]

Yeah, I would too.
