Cheers mate, no none at all.
You have two choices when fitting facelift seats to a non facelift.. either fit an occupancy sensor bypass or fit a new occupancy sensor, but this means taking the seats apart.
I've gone for the bypass as it's about £100 cheaper, it makes the car think there's always someone in the seat so the airbags all work as normal
Thanks chap, yeah I thought the same about the wood. (Damn you Alan )
I have something up my sleeve with the dash, but I'm not sure... alcantara (black) with dark red stitching?
Thanks you, bet you miss it more now huh? (ish)
Underwhelming? Tsk.
Thanks Chris

Thanks chaps, you both really need to see them in the flesh.
Wheels and spacers are my next focus, be as the summer comes in a little though.
First I need to get it home and find this rear knock. FFSnake.

Not sure yet. Swing one way, it'll knock, then the other, it'll knock, only alternately (so two right swerves won't get two knocks), so I hope it's a bolt worked loose on the suspension when it went in for the bearing etc a while back.
Feel free to drive to Sidcup tonight and help me have a look, I'll even buy you a pint.

I'll let you know Joe, this is quite a clunk, so I'm a bit stumped until I get under it.

Yes.
DropTopLife is the only way to roll, player.
Looks awesome, much better than I expected if I'm honest.
How are you finding drop top life? I did 100 miles with the top down this weekend and it reminded me why I love it so much! Fitted some Bimarco as well

Cheers Sam, if I'm honest it looks better than I was expecting, but that's purely because I thought they seats were tan, not some specialist unique BM colour. They're far more burgundy than anything else.
I love drop top life, like properly, I spent all of last summer with the top down, and now we're seeing the sun I love crisp air mixed with the heated seats. (The new seats have heated bolsters, bonus)
Can we do a "Post a pic of you in your soft top" thread???
Thanks mate, it got detailed a week or two ago and the old seats got done, I'll have to convince Ant to do the new seats too

It sure does, the alternative is to get yourself one of these:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SEAT-BELT...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2ebe3f51d8
Just keep it in your cubby hole and bung it in whenever you want to have something on the passenger seat.
Thank you sirs.
Cheers mate, I think (luckily for me) silver is one of the best colours with it. Can't get over the heated bolsters, worked on a car last night until 1 a.m with Ant and when I went to go home, the heated bolsters were amazing on my freezing... everything.
Being from a facelift, these seem to have had considerably less use and be a better design in general, they seem to get hotter quicker and hotter overall.

Nice seats. Contrast well with the silver. Heated bolsters too! Posh

Ooooo Rob have you done the CDV mod yet? All I can say is wow, how the car should have been made and not catering for people who cannot drive.

Did it this morning as soon as I got back in the car, could feel it was much better when pulling off. And now in sport mode on a quick change there's no slipping. Just feels nice having the clutch controlled by your foot once again.

You know I'd have invited you.
Found it yes, ordered polybush replacement. RTAB's it was.
It's a git to get the old ones out though, new ones go in easy.
