Will R56 seats fit into R53?

I really like the look and feel of the R56 seats! I was wondering if anyone has tried to retrofit the R56 sport seats into the R53?

Cheers. -m

They will not fit witout some custom, one-off work.

The seat rails are wider on the R56 seats.

Doesn't mean it can't be done, just that you'll be fabbing up a custom bracked for the base of the seat.

Haven't actually seen anyone try it yet.
