If the seats are memory button system and you haven't got this they may not work and you may need to wire the seats in. I sold some elite seats before and the guy couldn't fit them as no wire set up for them.

No - no airbags and wrong pretensioners - you'd have to be a bit simple if you thought that would be a good idea to live without these safety features

No - only elites

and are they all recaro sports leather?

All made by recaro, but not all 'sports' style. No sports seats have memory function

to fit the full memory loom, waaaayyy to much work, not worth the effort. drivers seat (only) memory will work without loom.

incorrect assumption - there was a change of spec around SRS system between early cars and minifacelifts, and a change of runner I believe for facelift.

fyi, no such thing as Omega C

if you have your heart set on leather for some perverse reason (sweaty and hot in summer, freezing in winter, and unreliable heaters), get some from right era :y

Seats to match the same era as your car - ie prefacelift, minifacelift or facelift

not difficult to fit rear heaters - get rear seat with heaters, small bit of loom, the relays, and the switches

finding leather seats with working heaters though.........
