Will Cooper S 2005 seats fit in a 2001 Cooper?

[teeman]

Hi,

My passenger seat has recently broken and Sytner BMW have quoted me over £250 to have it repaired.

I've just bought a pair of 2005 Cooper S front seats from ebay that are imaculate and were apparently taken out when the car was new to have Works seats put in instead.

Does anyone know how easily these will bolt in where the old ones came out. I have a friend who owns a garage who reckons he can do it in half an hour.. Any isssue's to be aware of?

Worse comes to the worse I'll just resell them as I paid £125 for the pair and that seems like a pretty reasonable price anyway.

Thanks

Nic
