Re: seat base
i think the best way would be to source a seat and recover the new seat with your cloth .

Re: seat base
Do you mean the slide underneath or the base as in the bit you sit on? You can change the slide but the rest of it is all one bit.
Seems to be an increasingly common occurrence

saying that my mate is 23 stone and he rams the seat all the way back when he gets in the car so im gona blame it on him and not peugeots superior build quality
Re: seat base
I had mine snap when I had the cloth in
Think it was one of my first posts asking about it
My mate welded it up, and think he sleeved it internally to increase the strength, and it was fine
Was replaced with the leather, but did the job for quite some time
