It seems strange this talk of pre MY2012 and post as the set I have on my front seats were originally fitted in my MY2011, then transferred to my MY2012 and are now in my MY2015 and they fit perfectly  Cheers Ian

They look great. How are they to sit on? Do they have any additional cushioning and how are they to fit? PAGODA

Firstly it is worth noting that the covers are not leather, but do a pretty good impression IMO. Leatherette I think is the phrase they use on their website...
Fitting was a bit fiddly and I did end up with knuckle rash but this was to ensure they fitted nice and snug. You will notice from the photos that they try to mirror the stitching of the seats, but in the case of the horizontal stitching on the seat pads (across the back of your thighs as you sit) you can never quite get the stitching to line up exactly with the original stitching. TBH this is not a moan, just an observation.
There is no noticeable additional cushioning, but it does take the seats a bit longer to warm up when the heated seats are on. Fully airbag compatible as you would expect.
They were a little over £300.00 so not cheap, but I'm very impressed with them and would highly recommend them. (Apart from the carrier they used to delivery them who damaged a decorative archway under our house with his oops van!!) MY15 D4 SDV6 HSE Corris Grey - Gone
