Just Treated Myself To Some Of Those Plastic Seat Backs From Les At Smc
All Here No Probs But When I Looked At My Seats The Back Does Not Come Of Is There A Different Sets Of Seats On The Facelift Cars Or Do The Backs Just Clip Over The Existing Cloth Backs

Cheers

I was tempted by these map pockets as well but was put off when I looked at the back of my seat, the facelift ones on my car certainly seem to be one piece without a back panel. Perhaps they redesigned the backs to try and make a bit more rear leg room?

Have Got A Set Here If You Want Them.

As far as I am aware James, the seat frame design was not changed and the seats will accommodate the seat panels. It would mean using adhesive to fix the cover to the seat frame where it is clipped on for seats with rear pockets. It would mean lifting the seat cover back to check the fixing lugs are there for certain. Not a difficult job if you can use contact adhesive such as Gorilla glue effectively, as you would have to glue the cover in place without it moving before the adhesive cures. I would not be in a rush to get rid of a pair of new back panels.
