Should be easy enough. It has been done a few times where the full electric seat has been transfered (wiring and all) into a car without it. Locky did it for one. Recently, music Master changed a seat base from his car which had faulty motors and swapped it for a working one and he had to re-trim the seat base with the leather off his old seat.

I believe the hardest bits to do were the "Hog" rings which hold the material to the metal bits of the seat.

No doubt someone will tell you more in a while

It is quite straight forward as Baz has said - the seat comes off the base so you just swop over the base - the cable connector should be under the carpet near the centre console.

You should also be able to swop the switches from the donor seat as well!
