BTW went back to the other PNP and found all my blue interior items (assuming a 116 has the same seats - I measured). Gave up on the 190 idea.

Yep, that car at the FW PNP is the donor for both the front seats in China, driver's door pocket, almost a brand new radiator I have stored in the garage {still had stickers on the top} and 4 good glow plugs I think. I seemed to remember looking at that seat back before but ruled it out. I can't remember if it was because of the crunchies. Maybe I'll go take another look on half price Wednesday. I also need the driver's C-pillar trim piece too, but can't remember condition. Seems like it might have been broke in half, but I've seen several cars over the last few months.
I hope the seats fit!
