   you need a T40 torx bit to get the bolts out. remember to unclip the airbag plug under the seat before taking them out

   i'd got halfrauds and get a reasonable tool chest as it wil contain almost everything you could possibly need to do work on your car.

    Just fitted a gti interior myself, I got a t40 from halfords for £2.30 so not worth mangling the bolts for that price.
    The pretentioner connections are different though, assumably you just match the wire colours together? Should the battery be disconnected for this?

    got the t40 off me grandad in the end, didnt want to round them off. Yeah just match up the colours, never bothered disconnecting battery and was fine. i am just missing the bracket for the split bench, so rears not in properly yet but will pop to breakers weekend. any1 know what models the extra bracket comes on?

    VTS definately has the bracket, if the VTR has a split rear bench then it must do too??

    buy a half inch drive socket wiv a torx40 head on it m8 tht way it can be attached to a ratchet makes life alot easier taking and refittin seats. They can be purchased from halfords for under £5. Hope it looks good m8

    well done, really like the GTi interior.

    VTRs and lower models DON'T have the rear split bracket. you'll have to obtain that from citroen or a scrappy.
    
    As for the wires, unless you have an airbagged GTI interior, you'll have to rewire it or take the bulb on the dash out etc.
    
    EDIT: I've never disconnected the battery whilst messing with my interior neither, suppose it is safer though

    Why not just reconnect the wires for the pretentioners?

    just fitted the drivers side doorcard. wasn't as bad as i thought, and think it looks better in my opinion. i found that because of the shape of the saxo doorcard, it meant they rubbed against the seat
