What are they out of? if they are more than 18 in, across the bottoms, they will not fit.

they look to be in great condition, but ask the seller for the dimensions and make sure they can mount in your car before buying them. Good luck!

The front brackets will almost certainly be too tall and the seatbelt buckles built into the seats may be another major issue.

From comparison pictures, the seats photo'ed are shorter and narrower than C5's and half the cost. I will have some measurments from the seller soon. I know the brackets will have to be modified, as do most any going into a C3 Al
