Default Pre-facelift vs facelift seats

I am looking at changing seats but I know the pre-facelift seats are diffrent,

Is it just the headrest diffrent?

Anyone had a ride in both and notice and any diffrence with the wind?

With the facelift seats and a larger wind deflector in place its quite effective to keep the wind out,

Does the pre-facelift seats let huge amounts of air around your head or is it minimal?

Cheers,

Phil.

Pretty sure the leather is different aswell, seems to be a lot harder wearing from what I've heard.

Is that on the pre-facelift?

I have seen many worn ones from both but guess its how you look after them and how you get in and out

The seats aren't really pre and facelift, they changed to the closed headrest ones in 06. The leather is different (worse) on the newer ones and they're slightly higher.

I would look into so aftermarket seats personally. Dont like the seat in mine, very uncomfortable for journeys more than 2 hours.

I have a sensitive butt.

I would look at aftermarket seats but I am fat and I like my heated seats to much,

Would the pre 06 ones fit the facelift rails I guess?

Have BYS drivers side as well
