Pretty sure you can just swap the seat bottom skins. While the seat backs are "handed" because of the cut out for the lumbar support adjuster, the bottoms are not, at least from what I have been able to observe in reskinning two front seats.

Wikipedia: "In 1994[6] for the 1995 model year, the 'SIPS-Bag' was released for 850 models. Initially an option, it became standard equipment[6] of all new Volvo cars beginning in 1995. The system consists of a mechanically activated airbagthat protects the torso from hitting the cars interior."

Volvo were the first production car in MY 1995 to have side airbags in the seats. It's in all the Volvo literature and brochures for 1995. I owned 2 1995 850s with side airbags in the Aussie market and it was published in the owner manual.

Any 1995-1998 seat from an 850 or S70 will fit your 1998 V70

What color do you need? MVS member Kahl has some gray seat covers that might work for you.

Just the standard grey leather that so many of these have. I will PM him and see what he has, thanks.
