Fronts:

VW Golf Mk6
VW Scirocco
Audi A3 (8P)
Audi A4 (B8)
Audi A5
Audi TT (8J)
Audi R8

I think B7 A4 seats might be a straight swap as well.

Bear in mind that for any of those options the airbag will most likely not be suitable, so none of the options will fit "without modification"

Finally, I'm led to believe the rears for the Audi A3 and Golf are completely interchangeable.

Best of luck. What did you have in mind?

Lol super rare tho.

And worse if you have a 3rd because you need to look for seats from a cabriolet, which are even rarer.

There was a set of R8s on the 'Bay not that long ago. £3k tho

Very true about the cabriolet part, the regular 5 door ones are easy enough to find though, a couple of sets are for sale on Edition 38 and I know of another set for sale at £1500  :happy2:

for £1500 you should buy them yourself and flog them for £2k on audi-sport

you'd definitely get that much for 'em

The problem is they are based in Manchester and I'm from Surrey, I was tempted to switch them for my factory Gti recaros but had second thoughts as I have enough on my plate at the moment with the car.

How about you buy them, sell them for £2000 and give me a 20% finders fee  :wink:  :evilgrin:
