It has been done in the past, anything will fit with adaption, but dont expect a bolt in.

cool :) i imagine custom runners etc would need to be made + also the rear seats have a weird hook like thing on them :?
they do like nice though & a mate would give me the entire set for like £30 (front +rear)

is it legal to instal them on a five door hatch? or is it stupid/illegaal?

Sos for all the questions-im just curious more than anything tbh

sure you can just use the subframe from your existing seats and mod the new ones to that?

Yeh that was what i was thinking. The fundamental design (on the front ones at least) seems fairly similar...plus it would probs look niceish..

Thing that concerns me is that the seats are from a 3 door clio and tilt forward (to let people in the bk)..

Would they still be ok & road legal for me to use in my 5 door v360? :?

offcourse that's legal!

it's the other way around that may cause problems (4 or 5 door seats in 3door car)
i've had 2 cars with such an interior (leather of 5door cars in 3door and to lazy to convert the front seats :lol: ) never had problems with MOT or police on that, most of the time it doesn't even get noticed..

I think i might just get these seats of my mate tbh :lol: Its a cheap gamble as ive been in his car (which he is now braking) & hes got fed up of poobay non shows so it suites us both. I think im taking the plunge & doing vulva up-now ive got a job (finally) to supplement my car situation :lol:
