Took a chance that they would fit since the Twingo is based on the Clio. Nope. Ended up swapping the RS seat back and base cushion onto the Twingo base and rails. Hated my old seats tendency to stain easily though and these are properly bolstered so totally worth it! Pics of the carnage, then finished passenger seat below.

Hooking up the cables for the folding mechanism was pretty challenging and the steel base bolster supports are missing on the Twingo frame. I’ll need to cut them off the Clio base and weld them on the Twingo frame.

Bet they really soup up the interior looks! I’d have liked seats that were a bit more bucket-y, but those looks a comfortable middle-ground for daily driving too!

Yeah they’re a good compromise. Lower with proper bolstering but still pretty comfy. I’m yet to fit them in the car though so will have to wait for a proper impression. The assembly took me past daylight so ran out of time to fit them haha.

Do remember a proper clean up under the seats, now you have them out and it’s easy to reach the carpetting under them!

Aye I’ll be doing a proper carpet clean and giving the seats a thorough clean while they’re out.
