Cheers in advance

4 bolts hold a seat in, do you have airbags in the seat?

Easy to take out but you have to
Make sure your buckets will fit with the right rails and MOT will pass it as long as there secure and don't rattle and have seat belts/harnesses.
Seats are your life not just style :.P as my MOT guy once said

Once you have undone the bolts I found the easiest way of removing your old seats is to drag them through the car and out the boot. Just adjust the back rest so it folds inwards

Lol well you may need afew hours to find the bolts haha and get the right tool and then to get them out without constantly smacking yourself haha. Just make sure when you take them out you have hold of the bottom maybe put towels around the rails they are sharp edged an will hurt your paint

The one's nearest the gear stick?
I used a T40 Key (allen key L shape) with a pair of mole grips locked in at the top for extra purchase.
Gently pull the bolster towards you for extra room so you've got an almost vertical drop to the bolt and then undo the bolt.
