They will be behind the OEM glass as I have found a firm locally who will be polishing out the flutes.
These units are original Hella 90mm ones (so the carry the required marking for MOT) and will be mounted within the standard box so all should look as standard as possible. I will be painting the inside sliver to "assist" the OEM look.

The Hella 90mm units are OEM fit on many EU cars, so the lighting should improve a bit :)

Lights should look good once fitted!

I've got a brand new seat foam in the boot of the Activa waiting to be fitted but I've never been brave enough to take the covers off the seat to fit them. Must do it soon though as the foam on mine has collapsed quite badly.

Not to hard David.....heated ?...and does the heat work ?

A mix of hog rings and the plastic clips you can see in the images. These can be released with a long screw driver. As you see the heating element is attached directly to the leather. I have decided not to replace these as I do not use the car in the winter.

Thankfully it's just the standard Activa velour so it's not heated :)

Mines gone from alright to disintegrated in a few months. Think i've got a rear seat somewhere i can pillage some foam from!

Is it fairly easy to get the leather off then? And new hog rings im guessing

A bit of a faf, but yes once you work out the nack for releasing the plastic clips.....push in on the correct side and a small twist with a long electrical screw driver.
Hog rings are mainly around the sides.

Nah, I'm happy keeping the velour in mine. I like it and it's a pattern that was unique to the Activa to I'm sticking to that :)

Ive never had leather seats in a car, and dont really want. I wont be looking for for the activa as I like the seats in it, the pattern, the feel of the fabric and the comfort of them. The foam on mine is on the way out also, common problem then.
