Seat upgrades options..

Postby DanMK7uk » Thu Feb 19, 2026 12:50 am

Has anyone upgraded the drivers seat, if so what did you fit. I fancy myself something a bit luxurious :lol:

Cheers

you can fit just about any seat, the drivers seat box also fits directly onto passenger side as well and easiest way is two bits of flat bar bolted across seat box then new seat bolts onto flat bar , only thing to watch is thickness of seat base/ cushion in case your sitting to high and your thighs end up against the steering wheel , i used vw seats, then Galaxy swivel base seats, now you can buy universal swivel base for any seat out of Temu for less than 40 shekels , I'm using 2017 vauxhall crossland seats at the moment and driver has armrest and are comfortable, cost including postage for the pair was around 160 shekels

I put a drivers seat box in the passenger space and dropped a swivel base with P38 Range Rover leather fully electric seats on both. Awesome seats but you do sit a little higher than stock and you have to be electrics savvy to wire it up.

Nice seat. What did you do with the built in seat airbag?
