   i doubt it has been done already, but it could be done, just going to be a lot of work, you will either need to attach the seats to the saxo subframe or attach the subframe of the Works seats to the car, which will probably require redrilled holes and then strengthening to these holes

   As the seats are made by "sparco" I would suggest that you can use a sparco subframe for the saxo bolted to the seat.
   
   When the seat arrives at the BMW dealersip in the box the under side of the seat has 4 bolt holes, and you get an adapter frame to go from the seat to the minis standard slider.
   
   Or chck out the sparco range, you'll probably find the same seat.
   
   size wise it's actualy a little slimer than the "cobra" "daytona" seats I've got in my ax, so yes, they will fit.

    try the sparco "milano" it's the same seat, only the stitching is different on the back rest.
