Seeing as this is the best shape Fiesta ST you have given it the best interior now! Hats off to you for attempting it and pulling it off
Honestly I am the same. Apart from the MK1 fiesta I like the Mk6. It's changed the fieta from a round shaped car to the new way cars were going, angular. I love the Mk6 ST than the mk7 and 8. I actually had a ST180 and it was a very nice car. But that was the problem, it never felt special. The Mk6 has that more old school simple feel about it that I love. I am just getting the car to a great standard once done and also improving it whilst doing it with some modern touches 😁
@@DriveWithAndy yeah the MK1 is probably the best in all fairness, but the MK6 is where they bought it back from the dead I think.
@@DJLloydy yeh totally agree. I don't mind MK2 but would love a MK1 Fiesta or MK1 Escort one day all done up like a brand new car for shows and summer
Hopefully this video helps if anyone wants to look to do the same. No tutorials for this existed and now one does 😁
dam that's sweet just give's the car a hole different look 👍😎
Thanks, yeh one of the best mods done to the car
I love ur Seats. Ur Fez looks amazing :) Nice details on interior and it seems very clean..Well done my friend..im gonna watcing the transformation ;)
Thanks man, I love my ST150 Fez and can not wait till more is done, especially the outside, got so much to come 😁
Excellent vid mate. I might give it a bash!!!
Thanks fornth comment 😁
Respect they look nice
Thanks man 👍
Great video, seats look great in there! Going to attempt this for myself soon xD
Did you get any airbag dash lights when you fitted these?
Thanks 😁
Nope no issues. Please watch the video I made shortly after this one about doing the wiring for getting the heating to work as you can see how to do it
yup flock dash blue like your work
Mine isn't a flocked dash or blue 😂🤔
I have fitted the same seats in my mk6 great mod 👍
On that, when I upgrading mine weren’t the full leather heated previously but the blue suede so never had the wiring in Thor the heat mat. Did you have to order new switches and wiring connectors or did you use the old ones? Or have you done a video on the wiring that I’ve missed ?
Ah yeh so mine had the heating elements already in so it was the wiring and switches I needed. I have a video how I did it but it also may help you as I guess you could remove the fabric and insert the heating pads from the kit I got. Here is a link

Make a video on how to do flocking mate would be sick
Already on it 😋
Need to flock more bits from the video then once fitted will finish the video
Hi Andy how do you do the airbag warning light cheers
Have to put a resistor in the relevant part of the lom under seat. I think I show this in the other video about wiring and I state the info in description
how did you go along with the air bags is it just a plug in your different
sorry i did not see this comment. a resistor is placed into the wiring loom under the seat
New MK6 owner and subscriber here. Nice work on the seats! How do they compare seating height wise? I find the oem ones pretty high so hoping these are lower? Thanks
Welcome 😁
I love the seats. So yeh I know what you mean, I found the standard ones high but also not supportive and also the adjustment was naff. So I don't think these are any lower. But they make you feel more snug in the car due to the bigger bucket style of the seat and also they have bolsters up higher for the shoulders so you feel more inside the car than sat on the car. Hope that makes sense
Those bases would have fitted if wasn't upside down .taking the seat away from dash .also original bolts would then fit
Hmm yeh I see what you mean, although if upside down the lip would be in the way of the rails?
Since the video I had the lip shaved down 5mm so seat aitsa tiny bit lower on the frames
How did u wire up the heater controls be good to have a vid 👌
There was a video made a few more after this one 😁
Hi Mate i like watching your UA-cam. But may i ask is it posable to fit MK2 Focus ST225 Heated full leather Recaro front seats in to my ST150 and will they still work.
Hi Jimmy, I think you can as those Recaros are. Very similar. If anything I might be right in thinking you don't need the OMP frame. But if you got the OMP frames then I don't see why not as you can do what I did in my video to fit them.
Then for heating, which is a bonus, again you could try what I did. Have you seen my video about getting the heated seats to work?
Did you ever get round to fixing the tilt handle as mine is not working and unable to find any vids to fix this thanks
Unfortunately not. I did take the seat out 6 months ago. Tried to get my hand in and find the cable that had disconnected, which I think I found but without unstitching the back kr pulling the whole thing up to get access it was not possible and cut open my hands trying.
So plan is to get it fixed when I get them re trimmed
@@DriveWithAndy thanks for your quick reply , ford are wanting £144 just to diagnose the issue which I don’t really want to do
@@paulwilliamson6525 it's most likely the cable has popped out of its holding. Worst case broken. I could feel and think just about see where mine had come loose but just not possible to try re connect without removing the fabric to get access to the back
If your mk6 fiesta has the half leathers in blue would all the heating wires he underneath or does it not have any of it? Any idea?
Hmmm not 100% sure, does it have a wiring loom under the seat? Or just the seat belt tensioner?
I want to get st seats into my 2007 fiesta zetec (old mk6) any suggestions?
Don't quote me on it but surely it's a straight swap as both from the same car
@@DriveWithAndy yeah I spoke to Ford and they said as long as I get seats from the same shape st it will fit even though mine is not a ST , just a struggle trying to find some
How to avoid airbag led? Thanks!
I put a resistor in the harness under the seat. I think I show this in the other video where the wiring for the heated seat is done
Do you sit lower in the mk 7 seats or is it just the same as mk 6 seats?
Same ride height, but you feel more sink into these seats and less likng your sat on the car. You feel more snug and supported. The bolsters around your shoulders make such a difference in the feel
Do you know if it’s possible to get the mk7 rear seats in too? I’ve got the rears but I can’t really figure out how to get them in
It is definitely possible as seen a couple have them fitted. But I have no idea how. I kept my back seats as look brand new
Can I ask were did you order the seat brackets? I can't seem to find them thanks in advance
I will put in the description, sorry thought I had
@@DriveWithAndy thank you mate it's much appreciated
how about rear ones?
My rear seats were the original leather seats and were/are in mint condition so wanted to keep them. Not sure what it involved with trying to fit the rear seats, do t think they are an easy swap
is it the same process for the mk3 focus st seats ? they look the same ? Also how have you wired them in so no air bag light ?
I think they are basically the same so would imagine the process would also be the same.
For wiring check out my video here

Do you have a link for the 2 cup holder bit?
Send a message to them on Instagram or Facebook. Called ModsnFlocks
Since I didn't notice you say anything, ate the actual seat skeders different? Or dud you take your old sliders and transfer to the new seats. Either way, why couldn't you just bolt them back down to factory locations. I justvfeel like either I'm missing something or those plates are 100% unnecessary, ESPECIALLY considering you were talking about cutting and grinding anyway! Hell, I'd try to keep as many stock components and seat as low as humanly possible by any and all means necessary. Thanks in advance lol.
Also have a 2012, seats are shot, am I on my own or do you know what years are "interchangeable "...
hi, so all shown in the video how i fitted them. The mk7 ST3 seats bolt holes are in different locations so the OMP base plate was used to bolt to the floor and then the seat to the plate. Yes anoyingly it means it raises the seat 5-10mm but still a mich nicer seat compared to the ST150 seats. Loads more sopport, gret bolsters, look cool and are heated. But i will be having the plate removed at some point fairly soon so that new bolt holes can be welded into place. Plus the seats themselves should be re trimmed later this year to match the rest of the cars new interior
@@DriveWithAndy gotcha. I don't have them in hand, and they ( the factory sliders on multiple years) mounting points; on the seat/ not the floor. Look like the "curve or bend left/right" in similar fashion. FIGURED, That's why the plates exist but also looked like if the plate was yanked out, thst the sliders were almost directly on top of the factory bungs lol... thank fir clarifying the suspicion
How tall are you? Just wondering as I'm 6'3 and was wondering what the seating position is like as I have heard if you are tall they are not the best and I really like fiestas lol
I'm just under 6 foot, it's perfect for me but can see if your torso is taller may feel a little high. Only way to go lower is to maybe use an aftermarket bucket seat as I think the make you sit lower but obviously less comfortable for normal driving and less adjustment
I know it's been a while since you put the new seats in but just want to ask if the omp seat base feels sturdy and solid. Original seats bolt straight onto the car. So a little worried about safety. What do you think?
No issues at all. They are solid. As shown in the video you can't use the original bolts. You have to get longer ones like I did. But my next improvement for this is to see if I can buy Allen key countersunk ones so they sit flush rather than the big bolt head.
@@DriveWithAndy thank you for the response. Much appreciated.....
Does the heated seats work?
Yep, if you check a video shortly after I made this one I show how we did it
What sizes were the nuts for the seats and the nuts and bolts u bought?
Hi, i just took them to a builders merchant and got them to match them but got the new lengths. Sorry cant remember off my head
Andy 😂 a tutorial tells us what we need to do and buy 😂
@@kasmr9718 I know, it was one of my very first videos so live and learn. Sorry 😔
Uch no bother mate im just messing with you anyway 😂
Your video has been very helpfull
Can i ask what you dis with the swatbelt wire andy
@@kasmr9718 so for that I used the purple/brownish colour cone for from the loom into the mk7 loom and then a resistor for the airbags.
Think you can see it in this video
ua-cam.com/video/IYdvRYiyn4E/v-deo.html
Would it look weird if I got these seat in my Ford style 😂
prob is with these seats, even though they are so nice to sit in, is they are heavy, i would say a good few KGs more than the standard ST seats were
Have you got to buy the frame ?
You do if keeping the mk7 rails and mounts. But if your good at cutting and welding you could cut the Mk6 mounts and weld them to the mk6 rails
@@DriveWithAndy because I’m planning to get thoses for a mk7 Tdci but have a 08 mk6 atm so just wondered if they would be like bolt and use if you get me
Am planning to do the same thing it worked for you without the frame ?
@@moeaker1645 nah I didn’t do in the end got rid of my fiesta as their awful you do need a frame and the frame is like 150£
They really aren’t made for the mk6 st !!
Nope, but that wasn't gonna stop me
I'm not a fan on putting things on the Mk6 from other generations of Fiesta's, it's a bit Frankenstein like, the car loses its authenticity in my opinion.
i see where your coming from and if you weant to keep that originiality your totally right. For me i am never selling this car so keeping it original isnt my aim. I want to improve on whats there by bringing in some more modern touches and creature comforts :)
@@DriveWithAndy yeah I really like what you've done with the car to enhance it, very subtle and classy, but there's something off with using other generation fiesta parts, it's a mismatch of identities. I would have much rather you put bucket seats in or something else that way it's a standalone feature not copied.
how do u get in the back
You push the seat forward?
No one has sat in the back though. But get in via the passenger side
There look nice but come on you dont need hugging for 150bhp lol
It's the bends, you just don't get the support in the standard seats. Plus these look cool ha
