IM2QIK Member 84 Member For: 21y 2m 29d Posted 21/11/03 12:32 AM Share Posted 21/11/03 12:32 AM Hi all,Just wondering if I can purchase FPV GT front seats (their much more supportive) for my 2003 phantom XR6 Turbo from my dealer? Do I need the vin and build No's of a phantom GT to order them and does anyone know the price ... maybe MS 700 could help hereThanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill get back to you shortly.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was hoping I could use my orginal seat runners and seatbelt pretensioners ect ectANyways .... look forward to hearing back from you for you certainly seem to have you finger on the pulse regarding anything to do with ford spare parts ps: do I need vin & build# from a Phantom FPV GT to order these or are they generally available?cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of fart a$$ing around, maybe get a motor trimmer to do the change over for you.Anyhow, trade price for those 6 bits weighs in at $947.45 per side.From what I can tell, that is all you need to do the changeover. However, ive been wrong in the past! If there is anything else, I dont think it would be major or costly. PLEASE NOTE I am not sure about the side airbag jobbies. Not sure if you need them to sucessfully assemble them.From what I can tell, you dont need a VIN to order these parts.Hope this helps! Any other questions, just let me know.

Al, nothing is impossible! You always could buy the Fairmont armrest swab and trim and do the conversion. Depends how bad you want the centre armrest!
