Seats might have to be withdrawn, the guy from wexford that I was buying the black seats from sold them without telling me, very bad form on his part. I'd swap for a black set if anyone was interested

Someone from Carlow bought them, if he's on here he might consider selling them on or swapping, not his problem but I was looking for a black set for a while and then they're sold on me still can't believe someone would do that

Unfortunately you cant say you own anything until you have it in your yard. Its a common thing on different sites, donedeal, adverts ect. I would never take anybodys word on those sites until money and item has changed hands You wont find much "good manners" on offer.

True...common decency seems to be a thing of the past aswell, anyway I'm sure a set of black seats will turn up somewhere

....I don't have any pics on hand - deep in storage; I'd have to rake them out.

Is your beetle the 3points mounting style front seats, before I start raking them out? Ones I have are the 3point - I think 73 is the year they went from sliders to golf style 3point / front locking pin style mounts...

Youve the early 'up to 73' rails so mine won't fit your beetle unless you start stripping both sets of front seats n start transfering covers, or retro fitting the later style of rails n some sort of front bracket attachment n that's all very long-winded

You'd think that the black seats that era are the most common in beetles here; red or wine coloured used to be the most sought after

I know, I couldn't believe my luck when I found a set and then to have them sold on me, ill just keep searching something has to turn up "I hope" thanks for trying anyway
