Not the best of help, but I know someone on club lupo has fit a pair into a lupo - So they most certainly must fit into a 6N2.

It has been done, and can be fitted straight in. All that is needed to be done is to grind some part of the subframe off. Some guy did it in a blue 6n2 with blue and black recaros. Looked pretty smart, but I beleive it took a while to get it right.

Try it - you may have to swap the backs, but it can be done!

ye the backs of the rear seats (they have to fit into the car, so the way to do it is to take the backs off the seats so they have the same mount points as your original seats).
