Alfa 156 Seats, 240 Swap

liamcafs · Jun 16th, 2020, 16:33

Ive found some Alfa Romeo seats online which I think might be from a 156. There are no identifying numbers on them and the seller doesn't know which model they are from. Does anyone who has swapped in Alfa seats have any tips so i can check if they're 156 seats??

TIA

Hi,

A few photos in my how to thread below.

The drivers seat has height adjustment and a flip down arm rest neither of which are on the passenger seat.

156 is a 4 door so the front seats don’t flip forwards- Alfa 147 seats look very similar and do flip forwards as the 147 is a 3 door. I had a set of 147 seats first, but despite the seats looking similar the bases are quite different- after a while making brackets etc I admitted defeat, sold them on and bought a set of 156 seats.

Hope that helps,

Cheers
