Found a pair of leather heated sport front seats, but drivers side is missing the mechanism to adjust the seat, there out of a 2 door but mine is a 4 and only standard seats, will I be able to swap parts over.
Thanks.

If you mean the bit with the lever on the end of the seat hinge, then yes, they're the same. Two door and four door seats are identical, except that four door seats aren't fitted with the cable and handles to release the seat folding mechanism. The mechanism is there, but not used.

If you want to make your new seats last longer, swap the mechs. and seat belt stalks around on both seats, so that the passenger seat becomes the driver's and vice. versa.
This will put the outer bolsters, which receive most of the wear, on the inside, and even up the wear between passenger and driver's seats.
