dont see how it can be ilegal
TBH mate - i would not trust them as they are on standard seats. the headreasts are not designed to be a saftey device in the event of a crash. if the head rest gives way then the belts could come loose which is something you dont want.
also im not 100% sure on the location you have put your anchor. idealy its best for the anchor to be above the seat - IE use the rear seat belt top mount.

if you think about it its better lower and closer t the seat as poss so the belt wraps around your shoulders,
fixing them high and away from the seat the belt kind just touches the front of your shoulders,,,,thats how i see it anyway lol

but if the seat collapses its going to move forwards and down - thus introducing slack so the occupant moves forward towards the windscreen.
however if the same situation happens - then the belt cant drop as much thus still holds the occupant back..
im not going to get into what the micra seats are like - im generalising with any seat.
**HOWEVER**
If the instructions have told you to put them there then it must be specific to that kit.

just been doing a bit of digging:
Images nicked from: http://www.soloracer.com/harnschrothfaq.html
so im 50% right and %50 wrong...
fitting the belt directly behind the seat is a no no, however fitting it to a rear seat mouting point seems fine.
