Mk3 seat swap? Pre and post facelift compatibility?

Post by GoKart »

Hi guys
I have a 2006 Mk3 with cloth red seats which are a bit grubby and tired looking.
I have the chance to buy a pair of 2001 red leather seats and matching door cards and need to know if they will fit (easily) into my facelift model?
Any advice welcome
J

As far as I know the seats are a straight swop, slightly different style, IIRC PFL seats have a closed headrest and FL seats are open headrests. Can't say for the door cards, but I'd expect them to be a straight swop as well.
I have PFL cloth seats in my MK1
