Received the head rests but in black shade but that’s fine since I have to get them reupholstered anyway. Cost me Rs. 2200 as the service advisor had promised. Here's the invoice copy:

Part number - 6RG 885 901C 83V

The rearward visibility through the IRVM has greatly increased as a result. Plus, I have swapped the IRVM to the auto dimming one - more on that in my ownership thread along with some other minor upgrades. Later.

Hi
Going by Gannu_1's example i replaced the rear head rests on my vento. Ordered them from the show room and got them in a couple of weeks. The design is way more comfortable and the rear view is considerably better. The head rests i got were in black fabric and i got it upholstered at one of the shops lining the milan subway. It cost me about Rs.1000 and though the colour matching was good the stitch and fit were not satisfactory. Need to get it redone from elsewhere when i get a chance. Please give me a heads-up if anyone knows a good outfitter in mumbai.
The prongs of the head rests were too long to fit the vento and i had to reduce the length by 3 inches for it to fit comfortably. I got this done at a nearby lathe.
When fitting the new headrests remember to insert the key into the slot on the left for it to go in smoothly. Total expense on this - Rs.3200
thanks gannu_1

cheers

Just what I've been looking for! Gannu, by any chance are you planning to install a headrest for the rear centre passenger? I find it very uncomfortable and unsafe sitting in the middle during long distance touring in the Vento. Do you know anyone who has done that?

Hi,

Is there a way that I can order them online? I have tried Boodmo.com, but they will cost Rs.1651/- a piece or Rs.3302/- for a pair. Not sure whether it is a reasonable price or not.

Any suggestion.

Link for your reference.

I ordered this 15 days back. Boodmo is keep postponing the shipping date. It seems the part is not available in stock, but they are still accepting orders. Not sure when they are going to ship this.

Well, I have tried Boodmo three times - twice for air filter, once for the engine cover and they delivered on time. Maybe you are right that they don't have stock for the same but then they must not accept orders for sure.

Boodmo initiated refund after 40 days as the part is not available.
