Ive fitted SLK seats, they fit really well, leather, heated and best part is the seat base is removable just like a defender to access the battery, paid £150 for the pair from flea bay

Why not just recover your existing seats from some of the many types of covers from Exmor Trim, very easy to do and it will make your seats look brand new at a fraction of the cost of buying new seats.

Think they were 2005-6 slk sests, These were definitely worth the morning making mounts for them and fitting, really comfy on a long journey, there’s some pics on here

^ They do, but take a bit of cutting and fabricating of brackets to fit.

Here’s a pic from test fitting to show how the base removes, can take a better pic of the brackets I made if needed

Matt, do you have more photos of how these fit in, I’m hoping it was fairly straight forward? Are 5gey good and supportive for your legs? 2015 RRS Autobiography SDV6
