It would be possible to recover your electric ones with the new ones, but it's difficult to do neatly

Why would you want to down grade the spec of your seats? Huh

Having had Elite mormory seats I'd not want to go backwards. Wink

If it's for the leather, I'd be tempted to remove the covers & refit them to the all electric memory seats ..... depends on your spannering skills I suppose.

Feb 2011 at 22:06 they were only £40 in the end and its to cheap to pass! thought i might be able to just swap the bases so i only loose the tilt adjustment!? but i don't mind loosing the extra electrics and swapping them though if the wiring's not to complicated? cos its only me driving the car so it's very rarely adjusted

I've only removed enough of the base cover to get access to the heater element. No sewing/stitching was involved! Honest! Grin
