My cab currently has sport seats, but as they are going off to be repaired soon, can I put any E30 front seat in to replace it on a temporary basis?

The seats are different between a 2 door saloon & Cab.

Cab seats fit a 2 door, but you *might* have to modify a 2 door seat to fit your cab....

The differences are the height of the backrest tilt handle (lower on a cab), and the seat angle/height handles along the seat edge point inwards on a cab, but sort of outwards on a 2 door.

Did that make any sense?

Probably not, just not sure if the slightly more protruding handles on the side of the coupe seats will hit the wider sills of the cab...
