500 seat swap

[sidsp]

Hi All,
New to this so please bear with me.
I have a 2012 500 lounge and my question is will the seats from an Arbarth series 3 fit my car.
Thanks for any replies in advance.
James,

Yes they will. Seats have airbags so make sure you disconnect the earth of the battery before removing and don’t reconnect battery until the new seats are reconnected.

Whilst on the subject, does anyone know, are the seats from a 500s any better than the ones in the Lounge? The Lounge ones are ok but you sit on them rather than in them.

They are much more supportive.

And the Abarth ones are even better?

Although a bit pretentious in a 500 IMHO.

The only thing to watch is changing the rear seats, I changed mine and the original rear seat was a bench and the new ones were split and i need a new rear seat bar, £30-£40 on ebay. Just worth bearing in mind if the rear seats different.
