This is something I plan to do on my Grey Charlie - where originality certainly won't be an issue. I find the current seats far too soft (even tho' they're in good order) and also a tad too high.
Had a good look around the local scrappy. Most modern car seats should fit from a size point of view, but you'll undoubtedly have to make up adaptors to suit the floor fixings - perhaps as simple as flat steel plates to cater for the difference in rail width/length. They'd have to be bolted down firmly as many of these seats also house the seat belt buckles - so a change of belt would be in order too.
The rear seats look like presenting more of a problem. My initial thoughts were to try and adapt a complete rear seat into the 2cv, making up floor and backrest brackets to suit - most modern car rear seats fold forwards and have brackets mounted on the interior 'wings' to clip on to. However, I'm now thinking the best approach might be to retain the existing rear seat frame - strip it down completely, and effectively re-upholster it with the modern cushions from the new car. This way, the whole thing should slot straight back into the car - and can be removed again for, er, picnics and stuff.
The best seats I've found so far are from a Daewoo Lanos (oh, the ignominy...) as they were really supportive, had height adjustment built in, and a really nifty black with subtle grey 'Aztecy' patterns on it...
