Used Alfa Romeo 147 Seat

The Alfa Romeo 147 ran as a single generation from 2001 to 2010, with a facelift introduced in 2004, so all 147s share the same basic generation — however, seat trim styles and fixings can differ between pre-facelift (2001–2004) and post-facelift (2004–2010) cars. Whether a seat from across that 2004 facelift boundary will drop straight in is not guaranteed, so confirm compatibility with the breaker against your registration before buying. Door count (3-door or 5-door) must also match, as seat rail configurations can differ.

A 2003 car is pre-facelift and a 2006 is post-facelift, and the 2004 facelift is a known boundary where interior trim and fittings can change. We'd recommend checking with the breaker using both registrations to confirm whether the specific seat will interchange across that boundary. Don't assume it's a straight swap just because it's the same model name.

Yes — the 147 was sold in trim levels including Lusso, Turismo, and Veloce (among others), and seat style, upholstery, and bolstering can vary noticeably between them. A seat from a different trim will physically fit the car but may look or feel different to your other seats, so it's worth specifying your trim to the breaker if you want a matching set. If you're replacing a single seat, try to source from the same trim level for the best cosmetic match.

Yes, driver (OS, offside, right-hand) and passenger (NS, nearside, left-hand) front seats are handed and are not interchangeable with each other. Always tell the breaker which side you need, and double-check this when the part arrives. Rear seats are sometimes sold as a bench or in sections, so clarify exactly what's included.

Front seats in the 147 can contain side airbags and seatbelt pretensioners, both of which are safety-critical and single-use — once deployed they cannot be reset and must not be reused. You should confirm with the breaker that any seat has not been involved in a deployment event, and we strongly recommend professional fitting so a qualified technician can check the SRS system compatibility. Airbag module compatibility with your specific SRS system is something only the breaker or a specialist can confirm against your registration, so do not assume compatibility.

The 147 was offered in both 3-door and 5-door body styles, and while the front seats are generally the same between them, rear seat dimensions and configurations can differ. Always tell the breaker which body style your car is when quoting for rear seats in particular, and confirm fitment against your registration before purchasing. Front seats are less likely to be affected by door count, but it's still worth double-checking with the breaker.
