I just picked up a perfect set of black leather e46 front seats. I will fit them to my 2 door chromie e30. Befor I start pulling the interior appart, has anyone done this before, and have any hints? the leather is perfect. Is it worth giving them a leather clean and condition before fitting them?

I think Turk fitted some E46 cab seats to a facelift saloon so i would think they should fit. Send him a PM tho to double check or do a search.

I made up new bracets with 4 mm thick galvanised steel. They came up great, but it is a bugger to drill without a proper drill press.
