After much searching, plus considering aftermarket, finally got my hands on a set of performance seats. Seem to be good match with the manual sliding front handle, basic motorised functions & are heated...

Came out of a V6S. Hoping they are straight swop but probably going to ask garage to fit them. May get annoying questions asked if sat on drive ๐Ÿ˜…

The chap I got them off has another, exact set, minus heated. He said someone from Wales has bought them. Anyone on here? Also has a mint set of Coralis SVR alloys. They might be on eBay.

He breaks F-Types so a useful contact as time goes on. Have saved his contact details.

Will update on progress for those thinking of doing same ๐Ÿ‘

Fingers crossed ๐Ÿคž

The independent Jaguar garage I use emailed this morning & they are happy to fit them. They are in very good condition but I prefer alcantara to leather so getting them reupholstered with logo & bolder stitching. Should look good ๐Ÿ‘

Sounds reasonable to me, plus they look in really good shape! Good find.

Well new performance seats are in!

Fitted by Elite & Performance Jags Derby. As always top job, zero issues & everything working as should ๐Ÿ‘

The original modules, & tensioners where transplanted over. My new seats are in effect my old seats according to car.

Using the โ€˜newโ€™ modules would cause issues as seats modules are linked to VIN. This can be resolved with the file sent off & programmed to car, if needed. Dan did say best to use donor seats with same functionality although everything can be overcome.

Only driven back from Derby but would say seats give bit more room. They seem slimmer than my originals. Feel very nice to sit in ๐Ÿ˜„

Now going to Seat Surgeons in York for bespoke reupholstering & logo on head rest. Quite like the full leather but might introduce some alcantara.

For information Seat Surgeons are also proficient in replacing seat air bags. They require special stitching which the guys there do.

Very nice Darren and probably a fraction of what they'd have cost on the option list when new

Look good ๐Ÿ˜Š
The swap over method is the same as I used on my old XF. As you put it the car just sees them as the old seats so no issues. Itโ€™s if youโ€™d wanted more functionality then some coding is needed for your old module.
