would the new w203 seats (electric) fit a 95 spec c250d or c180 which have non electric seats?

I don't know the answer to that question, and I'm aware of only one person that could say for sure either way (there may be others, but I'm not aware of anyone else who has the experience).

Hopefully MBenzNL can respond and let you know for sure...

im sure you can bolt them down, but the wiring .... good luck!

I assume you've checked to make sure that the seats are not too wide to fit in? Perhaps if you specify how you're sure that the the seats could be bolted down, then it will make Mr Ace's inquiry go faster rather than have him go on a wild goose chase.

well since I have a 202 and a 203 in the garage, ill be sure to get you better info a little later tonight.

I dont think that rear seats will work, but ill take a look at the fronts' and see if they will work - size and bolt patterns.

cheers mate, i'll be waiting :)

im sorry for a long delay,

ok heres the deal - the rails on the W203 are about .75 of an inch wider then the W202. other then that - THERE ARE NO RESTRICTIONS besides bolting them down, and a little electrical work. so this shouldnt be hard, but the thing id be mostly worried is the color match.

rear seat - as for the rear seats, I dont have measurements in my head, but when I did measure them, the seat off the W203 would be about 1" lower then the W202 seats simply because the W203 seat is not as thick. the back part of the seat is fine, only worry is - agian mouting them would require brain thinking LoL! :p

rear seat conversion souldnt be a problem either! Amazing isnt it ? this urges me to go to a wrecker yard and look for a W203 with tan seats so I can do something like this.

Good luck to you and if you pull this off, you better start bragging!

You can have some custom mounting brackets made from a local machine/welding shop. That's pretty much what you have to do if you upgrade to Recaros and other A/M seats.

I dont even thing brakets would be necessary .

just drill extra bolt holes.
