As per the subject line, ideally light grey but I know this is a big ask.

[Zuffenhausen]

Will the back seats from a MFL Elite fit?
I know the fronts are different due to airbags etc

If you can find a pic of the interiors you will notice the stitching/stle of the seat is of a different type, theoretically they will just bolt straight in. Front seats gain trick moving head restraints for rear impact on the FL, but in theory you can bolt in a 1994 seat in your 2003 car, and 2003 seats in your 1994 car (but there are various moral/legal/safety hoops, regarding aribags etc, but for physical boltholes lining up, yes you can)

The rear seats on FL estates gain anti-load intrusion securing lock feature.. thing. No idea if this affects how the seats fit, or indeed if for instance fitting FL rear seats in a PFL would fit, and therefore actually gain you this feature. Again, pretty sure MFL ones will fit in a FL estate no worries.

Often used to see (saloon) taxis rolling around my town with PFL interiors fitted to FL cars.

Mod please delete this an the above quote post. Hit the wrong button. That'll teach me to type and eat a bacon butty at the same time. Turns out men can't multitask, then

No can women 
Ever tried to get one to sit down and shut up at the same time

Rear seat will bolt straight in across the range, saloon and estate, but estate will only fit estates, and saloons will only fit saloons...

Load intrusion interlock thingy is a sliding bolt that joins the top edge of the backrest together... 

[Diamond Black Geezer]

  Oh I can get them to shut up... but after a minute of two they have to take a breather, as it's a chocking hazard... 


And good to know, I knew the load intrusion thing came in, but had no idea if it affected the actual shell of the car or not. Hope the OP is sorted now

isn't the rear middle seat belt arrangement different or am I thinking of the PFL.

Later cars have an interlock on the nearside catch to prevent the centre belt being used if the nearside backrest is unlatched...

OK so now I only need a pair of FL Leather front seats in black, has anyone got some available?
