Default The seats....

How much would a half decent set of seats for a Rs1600i typicially cost then? I've been offered a set, but no price yet, so i'd like an idea, fair condition, but they are both drivers side seats. Anyone?

More than that if they aren't ripped. I'm sure someone on here would swap a spare passenger one for a decent drivers seat. They aren't that common

Ah, my mistake, i ment to say passenger seats!!!

Got em the other week, and they are as new (the side bolsters are rock, and i mean, rock solid, its like they have just time warped outta the 80's!), cept for a tiny tear, which ahs now been fixed.







And now i've managed to aquire an RS 4 spoke steering wheel......... lol, can you say wanna-be?

Im selling my RS1600i interior (shown above), if any ones interested PM me an offer. Includes door cars, caps and quarter panels that were never fitted when I bought the set (these have been dry stored). Front and rear seats. Drivers seat is good, black tag however no longer says 'FORD RS'. There is slight wear to the pipping but apart from that there mint.

I also have a 4 sopke RS1600i steering wheel, if any one is looking. Overall good conditions some wear to leather. I'll try to get photo's up here.

Situated LONDON, 5 mins from junction 13 of M25
