      Thats not bad at all and i don't think it will put people of. I posted a £30 MINT B3 interior boot lid trim of my 90 20v to russia which weighed less than 3kg packed and that cost £45.00 (parcelforce) and he didn't bat an eyelid. When you think what your seats weigh and i know they are heavy ( but oh so nice to use ) compared to my 3kg package, £260 starts to look good! Just pack it bomb proof with lots of bubble wrap and a double layer of heavy duty cardboard free from your local recycling centre. Yes it's a pain but worth it. Best of luck with it!

        There are many Private couriers working in Europe. If you pick up one with good references should be alright. Price would be around 1 Pound per 1kg. I just have use them to bring over some oak doors (10) to UK and everything was alright. Parcel force would quote more then doors cost

          Only trouble with private couriers is what happens when things go wrong. Those seats are too nice to export anyway lol

              That's why I am a bit nervous about shipping them off hundreds or thousands of miles away

                I was amazed at their condition when I picked them up given their probable age - the cloth is in great condition apart from a small mark on one of the passenger side leg bolsters and some slight wear to the stitching on the outside driver's bolster.

                Photos from MattS2's advert for them:





                What were you fitting these into that you couldn't get a comfortable position?
                Did it have a sunroof?

                  Yes. S2 Avant with sunroof. What difference does that make?

                    Payment received for these. It's been taking a while because my priorities have been with my new house
