Default Can an S1 passenger seat fit drivers side.

I was just wondering if anyone has done this to their car? My drivers seat isn't badly worn at all but the passenger side just feels tighter.

they can, but there angled so you wont be facing the steering wheel like you would be in a drivers seat, not to sure on how much it is out, but been told its pointless

Someone must have done it

Not sure I've ever noticed it in my car that they face different ways before but if it's only slight and both seats do it then it'd be hard to notice.

Seats are both the same, just as both S2 seats are the same. Only thing different between S1 and S2 (bar the trim) is that on the S1 the tilt-lever is on the OUTSIDE only. On the S2 it's on both sides. Just means that you will have to reach into the centre to tilt your seats forward. I think the recliner wheel is on both sides, not sure, so that wouldn't make a difference.

I never thought about the tilt lever being on the inside, good point. I think the recliner wheel is only on one side but might be possible to swap everything over from my drivers seat.
