I got the captains chairs off the diamante at pick a part last week, now i seem to have a problem, i dont think that they will fit because of the center console. i have the TR SE one, which is fairly padded. Question is will these seats slot in or will i need to get a different center console if there is one? Thanks guys.

best bet would be to go back to the car you got the seats from and check it out, if the center consol is different then grab it too :)

They wont fit....but you can chop the centre console down to make it fit.

I know but those armrests serve the same purpose as the TS Centre console, cept the TS centre console is deeper so actually has more room then the TR one :P

The idea of front seats with armrests in a 2G Magna is cool. :cool:
The loss of the centre console lid isn't :doubt:

Tough choice :confused:

What did the centre console in the Diamante (that the seats came out of) look like?

Still no pics !!! :rant: lol

Just a TR one basically, cept the handbrake bit was filled in becuase it has a foot handbrake (sort of an oxymoron that one) and the whole console is covered in vynal and has no coin tray

Im in QLD atm so i cant upload

paul, i wanted the captains chairs so when i retrim them my seats will be better than yours!!:gtfo: haha, nah they did look cool at the time and i was in "omfg diamante **** buy buy buy" rear seat is sick but.

oh okay, the Tarago has one of those hand - errrr - foot brakes.

Sounds like time to get the existing console lid customised.
Wonder what an auto-trimmer would charge (if it's possible).

The standard TR Executive console sits nice and low, so if you need a safe bet then that one will definitely be the go. Cheap as chips from wreckers as well.
