Are there any issues fitting pre-facelift leather to post    facelift cars - looms, airbags etc...?

Personally I think the seats look nicer on the pre's.

How much hassle was the rear blind?

With regards to the Leather i followed the wiring guide on the forum and it worked first time to be honest, i used the interior from a 98 model so it had the airbags in the seats.

The rear blind was a straight forward swop as the wiring for it is also present under the rear shelf.

Forgot to ask, Andy - how do you find the shape of the leather seats compared to the facelift velour?

What's the reason for moving the washer bottle filler to the slam panel? Is there some benefit ? :o

Hey Andy, how easy was the rear blind to install? is the wiring all there, because there is a car in the local junk yard that has it but its a pre99 and I was thinking I can take the rear shade out of that and try to install in mine? 

What parts did you need to do the conversion?
