The seat bases need to be changed in order to get them to fit. A bit if an exercise to do but doable . Best bet is to get your existing seat retrimmed with new foam and leather.

Thanks for the advise. i agree that re foaming and covering my AU seats would be the smartest thing to do. For the record there is nothing wrong with my seats but i have the opportunity swap seats for free. And the Black leather seats (XR8) will look so much better than my cloth XR6 seats.
