Upgrade to facelift??

Pay for collection or delivery and your welcome to the bumper free of charge thanks for the heads up, I will give everything a go the steering baffles me the most tho I usually buy a boss and aftermarket steering wheels not sure if everything would line up correctly on the new facelifts tho, also no of a good place to get A/T tyres online??

Lol there would be no point, it pains me to say this but we where having a heated debate about the new car, she suggested a matiz, it was at that point I really questioned our relationship, was gona say something but I ended up just walking away, think she understood it was a jimny or a life time of loneliness

All UK Jimnys came with steering wheel airbags, so under the new MOT rules you'll need to have a working steering wheel airbag. You could change the grey rubber steering wheel to a black leather one from a Mode or an O2 but you'll need to keep the original grey airbag unless you're feeling brave and want to play with the wiring.

As far as the seats go, fronts will be a straight swap, but the rear seat bases are mounted in a different way on the facelift cars. Try to find a set of the half leather ones from a Mode if you can, and try to get the door cards, rear plastics and rear door trim. Matching centre consoles for the gear lever and handbrake in the darker grey would be nice too.

If you change the bumpers to facelift bumpers make sure you notify your insurer - don't give them an excuse not to payout on any claim you may have to make.

Haha that is so funny.

I thought the mode steering wheel was the 3 spoke steering wheel and the o2 was the 4 spoke?? I was hoping to change 4 spoke to the better looking 3 spoke. Thanks for your help, have you tried any of these swaps or seen pictures of it at all??

The three spoke steering wheel came with the new style dash and push button 4WD. The Mode was a run-out special model before the new dash model came in. The newer bumpers came in just after the dash change.

I have fitted a black leather steering wheel and the full interior (apart from the dash) from a Mode. You can see it all in my My Jimny thread .

This is just what I want to do except using parts from a the newer model, I think they started at 05, I think the tints where great it set the car just right
