john,

I did see a G once which had Range Rover leather seats fitted front and back. It looked the business !!! Guess he must have altered the running gear n' stuff but if that can be done then i'm sure you'll find a way of getting C class ones in ?

I've read that SLK seats work well, but I think C-Class, W203, must be about the right size too.

I am in the process of fitting P38 cream leather seats in a 460, will get pictures if anyone is interested in the conversion.
The seats are incredibly cheap and excellent quality, I got a set in good condition with doorcards for £140 delivered from a breaker in Scotland.

Got a big roll of cream faux eather to re-trim some original 460 doorcards which will be easy enough!

hi jhw

Am also really interested in this conversion. How is it going?

Is this for a SWB or LWB?

Are the P38 seats electric / manual?

How are you dealing with rear bench seat ?

Many thanks
