R50/53 Seats upgraded - R50

Seats upgraded - R50
I've been searching craigslist for some time, and came up with a set of seats from a 2007. Got both seats for $240, which I felt was a fair price. Got home and ripped into it. Must say, the seats are a huge improvement over the stock seats that were in the 2003. I think I'm going to go see if I can purchase the rear seats too.

That style of leather seats were originally an $1800 option.
Rear seats from the 2007 probably won't fit your R50.

Theres a thread on putting R56 seats in a R53. R56 puts all the wiring into one plug (airbag, occupancy sensor, heated seats ....) versus multiple plugs on R53 so you need to repin. The rear seat fits but if I remember from the thread right you have to enlarge a mounting hole. I just bought a set of the English Panther leather seats and put them into one of my cars. These were an option on 2005=2006 cars and I think basically the same seats as the lounge leather seats
