Just wondering if you have a spare drivers base or frame can a passenger seat be converted to drivers seat?

I think so, I have had a few "Sports" with passenger driver seats! I know this because of the release pull to let people in the back was on the wrong side!

Simple answer is... YES.

the frames on the base of the seats comes apart, so you can simply swap them over.

Not a difficult job at all.

Its an eay job, but the release latch will be the giveaway. Its actualy quite annoying, my m3 seats annoy me in this way. (being from a LHD car).

If the seats are twisted re-aligning them will be hard.
