I have heard of some guys using the C4 seats. I don't think you can get the power seats in because they sit to high. They say the manual seats fit but you will sit a little higher and probably not fold as far forward as your stock seats. I have seen some pictures and they look nice in the C3. Let us know how it works out

thanks for the response. i saw someone stated they were doing it and
took a chance and emailed him. he said he was putting in seats from a
78 pace car and said they are the basic seats up until 82. said the
electric seats won't fit as the floor pan was lower to accomadate them.
said only mod to make was adding a piece of steel to mount the rear of
the track. will be checking into this.

Try the following link:
Talks you through both C4 and C5 conversion to C3 (with photos). I, myself, would like to convert C5 seats (manual) to my C3 some day. Better seats.
It can be done.
