i must admit the leathers are much better than standard cloth seats i have now.

with the added heated bit as well (if it works. never did test the seats)

Funnily enough I had the same brainwave not so long ago. The fronts will - although it would be a little strange to have that seat tilt forward thing for back seat passenger access - the rears won't. But if you got coupe front seats & managed to get the non-ribbed rear bench from an older leather shod estate (same pattern as Gary has in his saloon here) then they wouldn't look mismatched.

Thanks for that , I like that idea ; i assume then that the fixing points are similar or the same ?

Fixing points on the front are the same for coupe, saloon & estate. Rear seats are all fixed in different ways. Mine was especially fun as I went from a 1 piece rear seat to a split so had to go & find loads of extra bolts. Also had one of the captive nuts on the outside of the rear backrest bent out of shape so now only have 1 bolt at that point instead of 2.
