    Default fitting calais interior

    i just bought some front and rear calais seats for my vr for $80. my question is has anyone tried to fit the seats in the car without a trailer. i have a trailer to pick them up with, but is currently full of crap and havent the time to empty it. can they fit? thanks

    Seen a block fit VN Calais front seats in the boot of his VQ, tight fit but they do fit.
    If you dont have a passenger when picking them up, wind there seat back and they will fit in no worries. just a matter of fiddling around with the seats and winding them to suit, and the bck ones will need to either go an angle, or a tight squeeze.

    I pulled up next to a VS in maccas the other day that had a full interior including door trims squeezed in there, and I've fitted both front seats before and there would have been room for the rears.
    It's a little fiddly but easily doable

    i fit 4 door trims and front and back seats in my car so u should be right with just seats...

    fold the front ones flat and put em in the back seat first as theyre the heaviest

    Good pickup! Are they the half-leather ones or the whole lot?

    Last time i went to get seats i went without a backseat in the car

    Also fitted all the door trims AND the front seats in the boot, so i didnt really need to remove the seat after all.
