Default MK3 Orion front seats.

Hi everyone

I've bought myself an Orion!

I've loved these cars for ages, really understated.
and for a while I had the fastest ford ever built! The Ghia Si! but it was stolen when I was at Uni after 9 days of owning it. It got smashed about, written off, and now resembles a cube.

But ANYWAY new red one! 44000 miles on the clock, 1.8 LX I

I've done a few mods already, got a custom escort GTI exhaust to free up a few horses, and a K&N panel filter + cold air feed into the box.

THE BIG PROBLEM

I bought some Escort GTI half leather seats off a mate of mine in Birmingham.

They didn't fit

because my seats look like this:

So a friend told me "OH just get the Fiesta Mk3.5 subframes, they will fit then, get the top hats too"

So I did... they came today...

and didn't fit:

The blue ones that I have are okay but you roll around everywhere! I want something Recaro'ish but I've no idea what will fit!

Can anyone help? has someone had similar trouble?
