Loom and switches are the easy bit. Loom plugs into the socket behind the glove box and routes down to seats.
Seats require total strip down!

You can actually fit into the seats quite easily. Just remove the seat back from the base, and then unpin the squabs at either end. Then sticky tape each length of heating element onto the end of a flexible 30cm ruler and slide them down the inside of the squab, between the two layers of fabric. Takes about 3 hours to do both seats carefully.

I'd love to know how easy or hard it is to do this with Recaro Ls' and if it wasn't an option are there after market kits that will fit?
