I have fitted the MK GRP seats to my J15 see:
http://sylvabuild.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/trim.html
They are not a straight fit in a J15 as it was not designed to take GRP seats, I did not go into detail at the time in my blog in case the IVA man
read the blog but they passed without any comment.
I don't want to put you off but I made many modifications to get my ideal driving position with these seats. You may be saying at this point,
that must be all down to his personal taste, well maybe. Perhaps other make seats fit better, perhaps. But my advice is don't buy any seats for
the J15 without trying them first and try them in the car in the ideal driving position for you. Another bit of advice don't buy expensive GRP
seats unless you are sure the hacksaw file and GRP repair kit is not going to be needed.
I can list all the modifications but some of them only apply to the MK seats. The MK seats are great, I had them in my last Westfield. I now have them
in the J15 and wish I had them in my current Westfield Megabusa.
If you want to take this further please feel free to PM me.
P.S. watch the roll-over-bar height if MSA is important to you!

I used these:
Clickster
They needed a tiny bit of trimming, but really not much....BUT, I did need to get some cross members welded onto the chassis to fit them to.
