I have done a lot of seat swapping in vans. from 3 seat to 2 seats. just 4 bolts holding down the seat. and a power plug for the seat heater. easy job. just messure the distance from the bolt holes from your old to the new seat if its a match i would think it will fit straight inn

I remember someone on this forum once said that the B9 and either C4P or C4GP front seats are the same, but I can't confirm because I have an M59. Don't know about the rear seats.

The C4GP is the identical floorpan and running gear to the B9 so I expect the seats "should" fit. Not the earlier plain C4 but the Grand Picasso version.

As it happens, since my earlier post above I have moved onto a C4GP. TBH I really don't want to remove its seats just to measure bolt holes, but I have found some online corroboration of what Zion says.
The list of cars based on the "extended" (long wheelbase?? - does anybody know what it means?) version of the EMP2 (Efficient Modular Platform 2) in this page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PSA_PF2_platform
...includes the B9 from 2008-2018 and the C4 Picasso 2006-13.
Here's another version, which seems not to include the 'extended' range models but does mention the C4GP:
https://wiki2.org/en/PSA_EMP2_platform
And these two links contain a lot more detail on the EMP2 itself:
http://www.citroenet.org.uk/miscellaneou.../emp2.html
https://inf.news/en/auto/e3f4cbdd1603caf...0aac0.html
Possibly of particular interest for this thread is that in the first two pictures on the Citroenet site, you can see two lateral bars for supporting the front seats:

[Image: 009.jpg]
So the bolt holes for both the B9 and C4GP front seats will probably have the same dims and layout if the bolt holes in the bars are uniform across all examples of the EMP2.
If you remove one of your B9 seats, it should be easy to see if its bolt holes at least look similar to this.
