What to do with my old (not M) sports seats...

[Greeno]

OK, so in the lock up at work i have my old sports seats - they arent M Sports seats.

They are not heated and they are manual.

I dont think i could be bothered about swapping them back when i come to sell the car - which is something i hopefully will never have to do.

I saw that Mr Whippy had his up for 200GBP but they were heated and in better condition - less wear. this indicates to me that they are almost worthless - which is a shame.

Any suggestions on what to do with them?

And no Mrs Greeno will not let me turn them into arm chairs and have them in the living room and my office chair is perfectly OK.

Bugger! That was my idea

Put them in the garage, beside the pool table, mini beer fridge, tv and toolbox

I would put them up on the VW transporter forums, as I hear they retrofit the Z4 seats into them

Sell them to a VW T5 owner looking to convert their 1 + 2 front seat to twin fronts

Did it with one pair of my old seats, far cheaper than sourcing a pair of VW seats for the van which secondhand go for crazy money...

Sold mine to a VW camper van owner. Came all the way from Devon to buy them.

Ready market for them in that community.

Cheers.

I had a faint memory that Ally had put his into his van.

CJ - did you just stick yours on ebay or did you put them on a VW forum?

Is it just T5's they are a direct swap for?

Any recommendations for camper forums - although i dont want to get shot down in one for joining to sell.....

Join, then PM a mod before posing and ask them if it's ok.

I would be happy with someone joining my forum just to sell something if it's worthwhile for the members...

Unfortunately they're not quite a straight swap: the runners are different widths but I was able to fabricate a subplatform below the seats to adapt them to fit. Details here: http://www.vwt4forum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=73047

The main forums are Brick-Yard and vwt4forum but I don't really post on either!
