14mm fronts and 12mm and a philips screw driver for the rear seats,
door cards flat head and a philips,

how much is being stripped? i think the belts ar 17mm

i would recommend 3/8 or 1/2inch socket set over spanners for this job

i don't need the belts it was the side bolsters that was worrin me , !

P.S Black leather !!! happy days !!!!

yeh there just 12mm

unclip the bottom part of the seat,
then theres 1 12mm bolt at the bottom of the bulster, then just lift it upwards, its held by a hook at the top,
then fold down the back rest and under the hinged covers theres 6 12mm nuts, a medium extension and a ratchet is easiest for these

side bolsters are are just one bolt at the bottom. just release the back seat base with the pull clips. then the bolt for the side bolster aer on the floor just inside the rear doors. the top of the bolster just hook over a cip at the top. dead easy.
as soon as you take the rear seat base out it will all become clear.

oh that is the same as my interior i have got in the loft.

should look great in a red car.

here is the clincher if you are feeling a little adventurous then you could dye the white stitching red to match the exterior.

i think that would look great.
