Font seat swaps?
Anyone ever do a font seat swap? I hate that our seats have non existant bolsters. Does the c63 come with better bolstered seats? Is it a straight swap? Tell me what you know/heard.

The C63 has the seat controls on the door panel, if your 2010 has the controls on the door panel should be no problem, remember everything is possible

Man....that would be a nice swap if you could swing it.
What I ran into when I looked into getting better seats is that the seats are connected to one of the computers and that you'd likely have error codes to deal with. Now if that dosn't bother you meaning you know somebody who knows somebody that can fix it, then that would be a pretty good swap out.
Another consideration is that you have to watch for those side controls on the seat...and the airbag cables.

Yeah, you'll have to deal with the airbag pressure sensors if you remove stock seats. I ran into this when I reupholstered my 204. I know got_thang? and Josh's silver dragon fitted race seats in theirs.
If you're looking for straight swap with C63, difficulty will depend on what year your model is. I believe there was a guy in Malaysia here who did swap his C300 seats for C63 a while back. Forgot his name.

Thanks guys!! I am not looking to make this a song and a dance to get seats to work. I am trying to "mod" lightly with direct swaps and OEM parts. I guess it was wishful thinking.
they look sick!!! i believe this is got_thangs' car,
