Hi,

I know this has been asked before but are there any other front seats that will fit a W463? I would ideally like a more modern and comfortable replacement rather than a W201 but have the usual height and width restrictions.

I wondered if anyone has tried SL seats or any of the Recaro models available on ebay.

Many thanks in advance.

If it is the ultimate in seating you want, the seats you could be looking at are the ones fitted to commercial vehicles, armrests, comfy cushioned and seat suspension.

R129 seats will not fit, neither will any of the M Class seats.

Old Rover Recaro seats will.

The 220 seats look good but I though they were too wide. I will have a look at the local scrappy and go from there. Thanks,

The c220 seats look a lot thinner than the original ones.

i have some old e class in a lab 460 and they are too wide they look shocking.
