   Iv'e been thinkign the same for a while mate just not had the time to do some proper research.
   I assume you mean corsa vxr ones? many people have said these are the same as the ones recaro sell seperatly as "sportster cs". Which retail at £835 each. So best bet is try to find a person splitting a corsa vxr, which wont come up too often as they are quite new. Then you've got to tihnk about getting custom subframes made to fit them. And even then it could turn out that the seats just look too big in the space which the saxo has, also problems like hitting door cardsand obstructing the handbrake.
   It will take some proper effort and money to get them in and looking right, but it could be worth it. Never seen it done before.
   Or could some gti leather be just as comfy and nice too look at?

   they're quite big seats so you may have quite a job on your hands getting them to fit.
   
   very nice seats though.
   
   how much did you pay for them?

    Ohryt, may look into that as reccaro seats are sooo much more comfy than bucket seats and they dont look so track if you get what i mean on a car that drives around on the road lol

    they are worth £600 but he should have put a reserve on them if he didnt want to sell them for less.
    
    make sure you report him to ebay. he's just trying to dodge their fee's for the using a reserve price.

    there will be some legality somewhere to say that you are now the owner of those seats.
    
    i.e a binding contract was made. get in touch with ebay ASAP
