2003 Seats in 2005/2006 ???
Does anyone know if 2003 Sport Seats will fit in the new models? I'm considering moving up to a 2005/2006 model and would like to retain my discontinued Profile Leather seats. Just wondering if it's a simple swap or if anything may have changed to prevent this from happening?
Thanks!
Thanks!

That's a secret! Shhhhhhh
Just kidding. Most likely something similar to what I got now, but stripped down. Going to make it into more of a track MINI--lighter, more performance stuff--will transfer all my mods from my '03 to the '06
Mainly upgrading to have Getrag---not too happy to know I'm on tranny #2 and warranty is up in 2000 miles.

I hear you on the tranny situation. My '02 Cooper had a difficult time getting into reverse. The Getrag is a very nice set-up! Now...what about colors?

Most likely same colors as I have now--Hyper Blue/White--although I may go Astro Black as well. LOL.
I'm not looking for significant change. I mean, if I could just stick a Getrag 5 speed in my '03 Cooper, I'd be perfectly happy with what I got now. As for tracking--it was a great day! I'm a lot better driver than I was before--atleast definitely more knowledgable.

I thought the difference was that the 05 seat has some sort of sensor to detect whether or not a passenger is in the seat by weight - so that if a child is in the front it would disable the passenger side airbag from the dash.
The light above the rear view mirror lights up with "Passenger Off", no?
I want to sell my stock front and rear seats but am unsure whether a >=2005 would be able to use it without ill effect.
