My wife had started to struggle to get in and out of the passenger seat in the75. So I have obtained a lefthand drive drivers seat with the manual adjustable height function. I spent the day swapping the frame and covers over as my car was fitted with Alcantra's from an MGZT.

All started well until I realised that the replacement frame did not have the supports for the bolster pads. So out with the Angle Grinder and welder and the jobs a good one. The wife gave it a test drive and found getting in and out of the car is much much easier. So might be worthwhile to consider this than swapping the car.
