You can do that or do it the proper, but very long-winded way, which is to remove the covers on the front seats and fit them onto the equivalent 5dr frame (eg from a XSi or DTurbo model)
That's how mine are done. It's a lot more work, but is arguably the proper way to do it as then the seats will mount and fit as Peugeot intended as they are to all intents and purposes 5dr seats rather than adapted 3dr ones.
If you make adapter plates, ensure that they are decent thickness steel plates with M8 high tensile fixings, because the loadings that will go through them in the event of a major accident will be huge. I've seen too many bodged seat installations using thin metal, often aluminium and inadequate fasteners that would between them have failed/broken/distorted in an accident - they've been buckets, but the same would apply in this case.
