    I purchased a pair of F56 seats from the junkyard. I followed the guide on this forum.I installed the seat occupancy sensor and airbag bypass. I transferred the seat belt clip, and drilled and tapped the floor to fasten the seats.

    I love them. They are extremely comfortable.

    Beautiful job!
    I am looking at a pair of these seats nearby right now. does anyone have any idea if I can retrofit them to fit in R53? concerned more about if the width will work, I can deal with adapting seat rails and the Airbag wiring.

    also, would R56 rear seats fit in an R53?

    Hi,

    I'm Florian (french), sorry for my language/traduction.
    I want to do this modification on my R56. Put mini F56 seats on my mini R56.
    Please Can you tell me if you need to change/adapt the seat rails? How did you do for the airbag? Is there a tutorial to make this change?

    Thanks

    Did you have to tap new floor mounting holes or retapping the existing mounting holes?
