Well the seats them selves are piss ... Jus swap subframes over ...
As for being heated thats pritty simple too, IF the seats ave still got there plugs + u can read the diagrams in the back 
Rear bench, the bottom will go in at a squeeze, the actual back bit *Ull need a 60/40 split rear - Take off ur old cloth and replace with the calibra then it fits

That could work, has an addition from Planty on the rears too.
I believe you can get the heaters working pretty easily too, John G did it.

wouldnt the rear seat back section be really loose with the calibra leathers over it seeing as the calibra seats are wider?

No, cos you pull the leather tight over the foam and clip the staples into it...

better go for the black and keep everything (dash etc...) black inside the car...
the fronts are so easy to fit and very comfortable though you sit lower in them (i had corsa sport seats)

use the foam from the leather seats as there bigger then the corsa foam so looks better, so
use the corsa metal frame and then the calibra foam and leather
