Just a few pics after replacing my 2005 seats with some seats from a 2012 model.

Very nice I know what's involved

Was a full day job to change the sub frames and quite a bit of wiring over to make them work on the old loom! Well worth it though!

This may be a crazy question, however, can't you just switch the seat skins over from the 2012 seats to a 2008 seat? without having to change the entire seat?

Where did you get the new seats? Im looking to do this to my 2008!

Sorry for the really late reply (I don't get to come on here to often).

You could change the skins but there are lots of little clips that will break no matter how careful you are and you will feel like you have been in a wrestling match with them.

From my point of view my bolsters were a little flat so it was nice to gain back the extra comfort. The backs were a straight swap, just had to change the belt buckles. the fronts are 2005 bottom frame with 2012 seat, the back is all 2012.
