I dont mind a mismatch in color. its got a red interior yes!
do you know the names of any seat's?
I sympathise, I'm 6 ft 3 in and find many cars with poor headroom, some of them surprising though, like some BMWs.
However, one of the reasons I have a Panda as a small car is that the headroom is fine, there is space above me, and I sit up quite straight due to occasional back issues. Are you long in body with not such long legs?

Im thinking the Abarth 500 seats may be more supportive.. and panda and 500 may well have identical mounts
Airbags might confuse the issue though

Is it just a straight swap? Or does it take alot of conversation?I'd recommend the basic Abarth seats. I had these in my Esseesse and they were pretty comfortable. Not a great amount of bolster support but that's certainly not required in a Panda
I’m 6’4” and find the Panda offers ample leg and head room, but I agree the seats are not comfortable over long distances. I have found a memory foam seat cushion (the kind shaped to relieve pressure on the bottom of the spine) helps.
I’m asking this because I don’t know the answer: so many things are connected to the body computer that seem to be fussy about being swapped. If you change the seat does that affect the airbag controls, and seatbelt tensioning system that ‘fires’ in an accident? I’d not be surprised to learn they need to be reprogrammed if anything’s changed.
