No seats bolt straight in
A common conversion are recaro from ingis sport 
Or fabricate your own subframes to give a flat base. 
Or buy some subframes not cheap 
I got subframes from company that no longer exists and where cheaper than the ones left on the market. 
I have had 3 different types of bucket seats 
Now have W176 Mercedes seats fitted

I thought I had read that Swift seats were 'bolt in' but it was on FB so don't rely on it being true

It’s quite difficult to find good quality second hand sports seats that will fit (E.g. Recaro) and when you do they tend to be expensive.

I went for BB6 (Bad Boy Classics) which are British, well made and good value. The come supplied with runners but need a flat base for mounting so you need a sub frame.

I bought sub frames from Masterforest (France), they came in two days and bolt straight in although I had to drill new holes in the sub frames to suit the runners on the BB6 seats.

Masterforest also sell sports seats. Then there is Raptor, they sell seats and sub frames, but the sub frames were out of stock when I wanted them.

See this link for the seats I bought
