[205] Interior

[Ryan Gillett]

Firstly, I was under the impression all GTi had half-leather interior seats, with red carpet? ....and Secondly, is there an index of the interiors anywhere? or does anyone know them for the 205 range?

Thanks,

not all GTis had half leather seats. Some had normal ones (velour), some had half leather, i think some even had full leather (possibly only special editions). Dunno about the carpet, but a mates just got a Miami Blue 309 GTi (i'm very jealous) and the carpet in that is blue - matching the exterior and the seats are black with blue checks, dunno if the same thing happened with the 205? Theres 2 basic interiors i think - the cooking spec with normal seats and the sportier spec with bucket seats (GTi, XS, GT, Dturbo, RG etc). Of course this is a compleet generalisation - theres a massive range of different colours and material combinations within these 2 types.

I'm sure someone will come along and correct me soon, but thats what i've always thought.

If you're looking to upgrade the XS interior your best bit is to change the seats as the woven material they use is pretty horride. Unless you can find a decent leather/half leather set (where all the leather isnt cracked and manky looking) my advice would be to go for the velour seats (the Dturbo definately uses them, not definate about other models)

Any idea on that one? "Red and Black Squares" on the seats. Are they front-buckets? Does it look slightly homosexual?

This is the only complete interior I've managed to find, and its two hours drive to get it :/

I do like the feel of the xs front buckets (never ridden in the back, it might suck lol).

Hello,

"Peugeot 205 Gti Phase 2 Interior"
Any idea on that one? "Red and Black Squares" on the seats.

IIRC, it's the yr-89 or 90-91 seats, half leather, middle with black background & red squares, middle made of velvet.

Are they front-buckets?

What's that ?

Does it look slightly homosexual?

No, and I wouldn't care, as I'm sit on it when driving.

This is the only complete interior I've managed to find, and its two hours drive to get it :/

Is that really a problem ? The real problem (at least here, in France) is to find a complete set of GTi seats in a good shape (i.e not "new as when it left the assy line", but not "2 millions miles with them") for a decent price :-(

You were correct about the design... essentially black seats, red stitching, red squares covering the body section.

Front buckets.. like, peugeots version of a bucket-seats, seen in the XS tweed version, slightly raised sides.. I want to return the interior to some kind of decent condition, the engine is getting an overhaul this winter and the body has some small dents to pull and Im concidering a full respray.

Indeed the problem does exist of finding a decent interior.. these were GTi seats, and were available on ebay (sold at £31 for a full interior!) and unfortunatly I was outbid.. Now I have no idea where to get a decent complete interior. They were in excellent condition, except from the usual drivers-side bolster being worn a bit and came with the original carpet and doorcards (front and back).

So if anyone does have an XS interior... or just the backseats, maybe after a roll-cage being put in? then contact me!

In my mind the nicest interior for the 205 was from the Neon green or the Sorrento green GTi's. This had deep green carpet and black seats with green fleck pattern in the middle.

Unfortunately, it's pretty rare so not much chance of finding one!

Hi Ryan,

Ok. Typically GTi seats, too. I didn't know the term, as we usually use the "semi-baquet" word.

Indeed the problem does exist of finding a decent interior.. these were GTi seats, and were available on ebay (sold at £31 for a full interior!) and unfortunatly I was outbid..

That is a pity, for sure ! £31 for a full interior, including carpets, is a really good thing (depending of shape).

Now I have no idea where to get a decent complete interior.

Check out the "for sale" announcements in, for example, local free papers (I imagine it exists in UK, as it exists here).

They were in excellent condition, except from the usual drivers-side bolster being worn a bit and came with the original carpet and doorcards (front and back).

He he... Considering the driver's seat is likely the one which suffers a lot here too, we, Frenchies, should try to find a UK passenger's seat, and UK drivers should look for a complete French interior : that way, both UK and french drivers would get decent drivers' seats So I understand that getting those seats is quite difficult in UK, too...

For your seats, have you tried to contact an automotive specialized saddler ? Perhaps overhauling your XS seats wouldn't be so expensive. Sure AA's got a directory for this kind of things.

Yep, that's the one - Couldn't remember the proper name so described it as it looked!

Unfortunatly my car is already styled in red (Boot lights, footwell lights, taxdisk holder, outside decals) I found several interiors that I can't really use..

I think that's the one in hubby's car ... it's all in a sort of nylon-type fabric, but it scrubs up well. Red carpets, too, but the car's also red, so I don't know if that is an attempt to match the paintwork. And yes, the seats are buckets.
