when ya take out ya standard seats, before ya take any of the 2 bolts out remove the side plastic trim and put the red tag in the slot you will see what i mean, and this stops the tensioner firing

no the tensioner is by the door side of the seat if ya remove the plastic trim you will see what i mean, they have instructions on the firing cylinder
You do have a corsa C so it might be in a different location, but im just warning you about these tensioners, they might be present

i changed my uncles old calibra seating for calibra leather seats, but they r the same seat n fit straight on, took about 30 mins to do those, just a straight swap. Shouldn't think these seats will be much different tho, just if the holes don't match up then they may have to be butchered around

but the seat belt is fixed to the sub frame which you will have to swap onto your seats, this is what is normally required, so you will have to remove it

Leave all the bolts slightly loose on the new frames untill they are all in. THEN lock them all down - helps with the problem of not alligning...
