A notch? Dos that mean it won't fit?

Think the notch locates into a corresponding slot in the dash that the standard 500 doesn't have. May be a work around.

Leather one is nice though. Bound to be a way of doing it.

Yeah I guess. A bit pricey on eBay, might keep watching until one comes up cheap.

Are they easy enough to change over?

Simple. Disconnect the battery look under the front bottom of the front seats and disconnect the airbag leads. 2 Allen bolts at the front of the seat and two at the back. Seat then lifts away.

For the rear, undo the two bolts each side in the boot and the Allen bolt that holds the pivot part in the middle. The seat backs then lift out. Two bolts then each side in the car for the seat base. I've taken out and put new interior in in less than an hour.

I discounted that one as it doesn't have headrests on the rear seats and not sure if it is leather or leatherette. I prepared to pay £200 to £300 for a nice one.

I've sold ones like that. They are half real leather but the more modern ones are much nicer. £300 should get you a good set. I sold my last set for £200.

Dunno where you are located but these are available in Essex

I love the way they were "dumped on the ground" and then asked for £250 for them, OK the ground was dry but would not have taken much to place them on a clean surface and given them a clean, probably add £30 if they had? Just me being picky?

You should see the state of some of the seats I have bought. I have bought them cheap and they have taken me a couple of hours to bring them up clean but well well worth it. They are rarely clean as they are often stored in someone's garage.

Bit closer! These are the ones I normally buy

Clubitalia on ebay has messaged me that he has a full black leather interior for £300 + £45 postage. On a side issue do all the fiat 500 seats have the storage compartment in the passenger one?
