Disconnect the Battery to avoid airbag accidents whilst you work on them. For a proper job, you may need some thread locker. See if there is any blue or red Loctite left on the bolts when you take them out. It would also be an ideal opportunity to either thoroughly vacuum or even wash the carpets.

Thanks Paul9. Ive been on the phone to a breaker who has a pair of front cloth seats but theyre from a 2015 model. Hes of the opinion that they'll fit no problem as the cars are exactly the same just facelifted front and rear. Im not so sure. My concern would be the connectors underneath are the same from both model years. If anybody knows id really appreciate some feedback. Thanks guys

I was going to mention that. I helped fit some Citroen Xsara Picasso seats from one car to another from a year or two age difference and the airbag connectors were very slightly different. A pair of side cutters removed the tiny plastic key from the plugs which were stopping them from plugging in. So that could be a small issue.
