As said, fronts will fit, there had been a guide on here at one point I think. It leaves them sitting about 20mm higher tho, which does become noticeable. I changed mine, but in the end up went back to the original seats, added supports and re-trimmed them, far better job imo.
backs do indeed fit but it's a different locking mechanism so you need to adapt something . . . .

On the 3 door car the outer edge of the seat subframe bolts sideways in to the sill, whereas on the 5 door they go down through the floor. This is correct for the phase 1 at least. Going to remove a 5 door interior at the weekend so I'll find our for sure!

correct sir . .give this man a biscuit . . .lol
