Swapping interior from facelift into pre-facelift

Hi all, I've been offered a nice set of facelift seats and doors cards. Will these fit and all electrics work, when fitted to Pre-facelift model?

I’d like to know this also. I’ve seen it done but I’d like to know if it’s a simple swap with no mods

Thanks

You need to use the pre facelift bases - split the backs and bases off and swap over with a bit of faffiing about on the wiring side of things but its relatively straight forward Thumbs Up

Red arrow - So when you say bases is that the entire base of the front seats including the cushion? So in effect you also have to swap seat covers on the base?
Or are you saying theres a metal base that just contains the runners and electrics that you can split from the cushion section and swap over to the facelift seat?

How long did it take you to do?
Thanks mate

yes split the metal runners with the electrics and take pics of the wiring as the newer wiring has some different wires .
so with the old seat take the seat base off - from memory 4 torx bolts and then do the same with the back and then transfer then do the same with the new seats and transfer the newer style base and back onto the old frame that has the old switch gear etc .
i fitted a 2012 autobiography trim into my 2007 model .
seats took around an hour each including the wiring and sorting the heated seat pad wiring out but its not a hard job.
it was a couple of years ago now so i dont have any pics
