Interesting. It seems that the rear seats are different between North America and Europe. The European seats have very visible plastic tags - rather ugly ones, too - on top of the seat anchors, and no velcro flap.
I'll try to post a pic this evening.

My MY2004 with fold-down seats have plastic caps over the LATCH anchor points too.
(another example of why everyone needs to add their location in their profile and their car information <including model year> in their signature...)

I'm guessing the difference is between Fold down seats and non fold down seats.
I dont have fold down seats.

It's possible that the difference isn't between countries but between model years.

Is the hole back row of seat fold down and you can put thing in the boot???

So are you saying that you meant to say "For non fold down seats" in your first post? If so, then yes, the difference is probably between cars that have fold down and cars that don't. Your description of the velcro flap on the fold down seats is what led me to think that they changed something in later model years...

No... I think I ment for Fold Down seats... I dont have fold down seats and I dont have the velcro flap.
But i remember seeing bmwin14rsm's car who has fold down seats and I saw the flap that folds down where he access the ISO fix anchors.

I agree, those little baby stickers look terrible on ANY color interior, or at the very least 'uncool'. 
If anyone HAS found a way to remove those, PLEASE post a solution.

Ah, the old "Manufacturer's Liability" sticker removal debate 
I can't stand those HUGH yellow stickers on the sun visors (and other places) that have at least two paragraphs (usually one in another language) advising you that you may be killed or injured 
.... First thing I do is remove them as I hate the tacky look of those things. Same language is in the OM (at least a dozen times) so any subsequent owner can read that. I view it merely as "lawsuit avoidance" by the manufacturers...can't blame them as Americans seem to want to sue over anything.
Soooo necessary to have my coffee cup labeled "Careful the Beverage you are about to enjoy is Extremely Hot"....sheesh - sometimes we Americans must be the laughing stock of the world. Too bad part of the auto ordering process doesn't ask if you want the moron or non-moron model...then those of us with common sense wouldn't have to suffer for those w/o common sense.....and I have news for you - do you really think those w/o common sense are going to read those labels anyway
To remove stickers use a hair dryer on hot setting, lots of patience and you can peel most of those stickers off. Hardest part is getting the initial corner up, then it's just heat and peel. If there is any glue residue, spay WD40 on a soft cloth and reheat area and wipe with cloth. This has always worked on the sunvisor "You may be Killed" stickers...have never tried it on the seats. Be sure you don't spray WD40 directly on the leather surface as while I don't think it will hurt the surface....best to be cautious.
