How easy to swap interiors on MK1?

[TonyWinter]

My RT doesn't have the best interior and so I was looking to swap it for something a bit better, like that from the RSi. Is it an easy pull out/unscrew job and everything then clips back in or are there some little hints and tips that I'll need to make sure I dont c**k it up? Bear in mind I'm a bit of a numpty as well!!!

Piss! on my rt, i had to get under the car and undoo the front seat rails, thats the hardest bit but its easy, just make sure you get the right bolts lol. the back ones you dont even need tools lol

Yup it really is as easy as a few clips and a few bolts.

In my old Clio I did the same thing. took about a day to remove the interior from the RSi and my car and put the RSi interior in2 my car.

And what a difference it made, well worth it IMO

to me and andre (heavyweight) about 1hour 30mins to put Rsi interior in my RT...quite simple really. doesn't take that long.

Lol its really easy. You don't need to unbolt the rails either just use your existing railins as they are exactly they same i have done it twice now and second time only took me 45 mins on my own!

Door cards are screwed and stuck on i believe so once all the screws are out give it a good pull from the bottom and it should start to peel off!

Taking this back to the top to see if that "How-to" guide is done yet?
