Purpose and fitment

The presented headrest is designed for installation on front seats and can be used on both the driver and passenger sides. This allows for the replacement of a single unit or restoring the symmetry of both seats, maintaining interior stylistic consistency. The design is compatible with factory mounts, facilitating installation in place of the original headrest without the need for modifications.

Material and finish

The headrest is made of black leather upholstery, which matches the finishing standards used in many trim versions of this series. The leather provides a pleasant-to-the-touch, easy-to-maintain material that blends well with other cockpit elements. The dark color helps maintain an aesthetic appearance in daily use and allows for seamless integration with other upholstery elements.

Safety and comfort function

The seat headrest plays a key role in ergonomics and passive safety. When properly adjusted, it limits excessive head movement during sudden braking or collisions, while also stabilizing the cervical spine during longer drives. Replacing a worn or damaged headrest with a functional unit helps restore proper support and improve overall travel comfort for both the driver and passenger.

Use in interior restoration

This headrest is suitable for both standard repairs and comprehensive cabin restoration. It can be used, for example, when:

• the original headrest has suffered mechanical damage,
• the upholstery is worn or deformed,
• it is necessary to replace a missing element following previous interior modifications.

By maintaining the factory character of the product, it is possible to recreate the original look of the cabin, which is important for both utility and potential vehicle resale.
