Default Fitting ST170 seats into a mk1 ford focus

Hi all, I'm currently looking into buying st170 half leather seats and hoping to fit them into my mk1 ford focus hatchback 04 plate! Been trying to read up on how difficult/easy this would be and haven't really got anywhere so wondered if anyone could give some feedback/experience!

Front seats appear to be a straight swap however my doubts are with the airbag connectors actually fitting and working!

As for the rear seats, I understand the seats actually have only 2 brackets as an oppose to the standard focus having 3 brackets, but again wondered if this meant simply losing one of the brackets or having to modify the base of the seats!?

Any feedback is welcome and I appreciate any time taken!

Cheers, Matt

Physically its a peice of cake. Your multiplugs may not be the same but all you need is a wiring diagram and can cut and join the new into your old

I just fitted an interior without cutting and joining wires. You can slip the plug out the main plug holster and slip it into the one off your old seats all you need to do it pull the metal pin out the top (not the wire ones) and shave the location edges off the block and you can slide it into the old box make sure it fits on to the plug first so you know the plugs the right way round
