Anything considered as long as it's pre-facelift and the occupancy mat is still in good condition...

Spares and repairs or whatever will do, I literally only need the bottom bit with the mat.
 
Are you going to use this seat as an occupancy sensor doner for your new sports seats?

If so I'd seriously consider just getting the pre-facelift sports seat sensor from Sopers. I understand it will cost more, but you'll save a lot of faffing around and you know it will fit and work 100%. I think it was Pawnsacrifice that successfully fitted a non sport seat sensor into a sports seat. However it did look a bit fiddly, and the sensor definitely didn't fit as well as the sports sensor does. Trust me when i say you'll only want to do this job once!
 
Hello again mate, seems we always talk over seats....

I was going to do just that yet, I can't see a part number for the sensor on realOEM, am I blind?

Any idea on the price and part no? I didn't even know you could buy it separately.

Hehe indeed we do mate!

You can buy it separately, I did exactly this when i purchased my sport seats. It was a pain getting the right part though! The part number you need is 72107919202, it was £105 from Jamie at Sopers when I got it.

One other thing while i remember, the pre-facelift sensors have a control box (the post facelift don't) You'll need to use the one from your old seats or buy a new one...

You'll also get an airbag warning when you fit the new sensor that'll need resetting. I can help with that if you need it.

It is a faff, but trust me the end result is more than worth it!

Oh so you've done this before?? Looks like you've inadvertantly given yourself a job.... :roll:

£105?????? Jesus!!!!!! I may be better off trying to find the correct seat in the first place if I'm adding another £100.. :headbang:

Thanks for the advice though, appreciated.
