Seats do sit slightly higher but are a lot firmer and just makes it feel a little newer they hold me nicely where as the classics seats feel less stable
Also dont fancy swapping the seats back over as i'd have to buy some v5 seats as i sold mine instantly after removal with the steering wheel

As fo the plate it was a gift for me on my 1st Scooby and although the lettering is wrongly placed it only reads right in a square plate ( reads more like khan or similar on a straight plate) Also it's personal to me and reads Ian Beale(nickname for some yrs)
