Hi "Alfalanders"
I have a 2003 SP1 156 SW and found a decent set of (british) SP2 seats. My car is a LHD while (of course) the SP2 seats are RHD.
I thought I could swap the seats with the bases, so airbags point in the right direction towards the doors. I would even get two seats with elevation. Only the driver side has height regulation.
My mechanic is now telling me the SP2 seats cannot be fitted in the SP1 places (holes) and there is some "cutting" to do and the seats will have to be "fixed" (in the way that they will move front or aft.).
Is this true? I'm convinced the seats are basically the same and the bae sure looks the same. And also the chassis is the same. It's the same car, for Christ sake!
any help or thoughts or experience in this same issue?
Tks mates
