is it possible? im not worried about the front seats im more thinking the rears?

Convertible rear seat is NOT compatible with the hardtop (narrower because of the roof mechanism, and the headrest is not integrated with the seat).

hmmm so does anyone know if a set of 04 plate seats will fit an 02 plate car? i think these are both prefacelift so should be ok

The front seats are compatible between hardtop and convertible... If they are from a convertible, they'll be facelift as all convertibles were built as facelift cars. The seats however should still be interchangeable.

The front seats will fit-in but! I have noticed a difference in the seat AIRBAGS in the past , the seat-bags fitted in the cabriolet are a little longer / bigger (this must be for a reason, probably a very good one , I presume to protect the occupants a little more) hence some adds say not commpatible with cabriolets when selling the front seats (eventhough the seats look the same).

The rear seat base is a little narrower as someone has said but not by much, however it is also deeper by about 1 inch because of strengthening panels hence the seat base is a little deeper but both the carpet & centre console are slightly shorter than in the hard-top models (sunroof models inc).

The rear seat backs are totally different.

Any 1st Gen hard-top (sunroof models inc) model interiors are interchangeable (will fit each other) up until the model change (2nd Gen), some of the later seats where modified as the earlier ones (up-to approx 02 reg) had some faults, so there are some different handles on some seats.
