Yeah they are out of my mates Beetle. You want to see the mods he is doing to get the Porsche seats to fit his car. Might give it a go though, would be nice to have heated seats too. Jon.

easy to do if you are prepared to accept that the seat boxes can go , then fab up from scratch and make it like they were factory fit and make them secure as it will matter if the inevitable happens

All the gubbins underneath will have to go or the starter battery relocated at the very least.

Too right! Just be absolutely certain that they are securely and safely mounted (obviously).
Good luck and post up some progress pics...
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it!
