Default Rover 75 Rear Seats

Good morning,
I have a 2001 Rover 75 and I would like to replace the rear seats as the leather is badly stained. I have tried everything to clean them but I have not been successful. I have thought about recolouring them but the I think the easiest option would be to replace them. I can buy the rear seats out of a newer 75 which have the separate side bolsters and I would like to know whether they would easily fit into my car?
Thanks for your help.
Regards David Winter

Morning Ronnie,
Thanks for your help.
The rear seat that I am proposing to buy is beige leather. Was there any change in the colour of the piping? and how are the side bolsters held in place.
Regards David

There is a bracket welded to the wheel arch David, & on the bolster is a wire frame thingy, this just pushes into the bracket. If by beige you mean sandstone, I believe there were 2 colours of piping, not sure so don't quote me
Black piping or sandstone

Also, some seats have single piping round the outside edge, and others have double piping, outer edge and round the situpon bit, like in the photo.
