I have a 2002 vogue Rangie, and it has the charcoal interior. if I had to moan about my car, it's that the interior is getting a little tired. I could give the seats a real good clean up, and sort out a few scuffs etc, but I've always been on the lookout for a black/grey two tone or something 'a little special' (though not garish!) Seeing that these 'special types', when they come up go for lots of money, compared to a standard vogue interior, I've wondered if fitting the similar looking early supercharged seats, with the perforated centres, would fit? I guess all the switchgear will clip to existing loom, possibly no differences, but how about airbags etc. I think I read that the early models had no seat airbags, and middle/late models do. I've seen people selling seat sets, with door cards sometimes as well. Black supercharged seats come up often, and around £500 plus is not bad for a set of comfortable seats. (I hope)
has anyone got any firm facts, regarding this swap out idea? Seats only would suffice. Don't worry about the door cards so much......

John,

One thing I have heard a lot is that the early BMW 7 series seats we have are more comfortable than the later seats, and having tried both I have to agree...

Also the later seats don't have the adjustable upper seat back, the bit that tilts the top of the backrest forward, personally I love that...

I'd refurbish the ones you've got...  Pete

From what i've seen online the subframes use the same mountings. The only issue might be getting the seat module to talk to the car, even that just appears to be a BMW derived module though.

Not sure what seat the early sc cars had. If it's BMW type it should be pretty much straight swap. If it's the later one, I know it has an airbag in it, which is why you can't move the top bit about, as Pete mentions. 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

1988 BMW 735i SE
1989 Ford Sierra XR4x4 2.9i
1981 Ford Fiesta Supersport

So you could just leave the airbag disconnected, on an earlier car (the car wont know it's there anyway)

It might have a different shape multiplug on the bottom of the seat to accommodate the extra airbag?

Yep both front and rear seats of the 2002-2004 models are a LOT more comfortable than the ones in my 2007 supercharged. If I were you I'd see if I can't refurbish the current ones
