I fitted some cobra monocos to my corsa bout 6 months ago. All you need to do is remove the plastic next to your seat near the door and you will see some kind of cannister, you will also see what looks like a red key, this needs to be put in the slot on top of the cannister there are instructions written on the top. You then need to get an ET40 or ET45 star spanner and undo the two bolts at the back of the seat, the seat should then just slide out of the slots at the front and hey presto, one seat out, do the same to the other side. To fit your new seats simply screw the subframe to the seat before it goes in then bolt it in as you took it out. Do you have harnesses? if not it gets more complicated. My wording maybe a bit confusing but hope it helps. Gav

If you have harnesses they attach where the standard seatbelts usually do appart from the shoulder straps that attach to where the rear seat belt clips are held in place underneath the rear set, if you pull it up youl see where i mean. in exactly the same position as the pic above that adam put up. Its pretty straight forward. If you have a rear strutt brace like adam then you can just loop the harness round that without having to bolt them down. If i knew how to put pics up id show ye. As for not having harnesses all i did as a temporary measure was take out my rear seat belt clips and bolt them to the side of the subframe, on mine the bolts for this were already there. Hope this helps. Gav
