bases

Ive just bought a lovely tan leather interior for my E46 330ci. The current cloth seats are electric where as new ones are manual. I know its possible to change over bases and have a found a how to guide, just wondering if anyones done it and if its a pig of a job for a novice ! Cheers

is it possible? and is it possible to get in to the back seats as the saloon seats dont tilt forward? my coupe ones are standard seats and the saloon fronts are sport seats, could i change the seat padding over or are they different?

could someone point me in the right direction as to what paints to use to paint the mirror bases on my e36 the paint at the moment has started to peel off, do i just use generic primer and paint or should i use something different!!??
