Front or back ?

 

[hjdavies]

front

 

[J.R.]

Why would you want to do that ? The Mk 5 seats will go straight in.

 

[hjdavies]

carnt really afford the one 750 quid theyll cost me. id rather do lods of work myself than pay the extra. so purely financal really

 

[J.R.]

Not to sure then ......

I picked up a whole set of S3 interior including front seats, rear seats and door cards front and rear for £700. Nice black and red leather.

 

[hjdavies]

does that all fit a a3 8p ?

 

[hjdavies]

can anyone help. will a tt interior fit straight in my 8p ?

 

[347]

new shape TT front seats will bolt straight in, however the seat air bag plugs are different as i have found out and will require work to make right.
the TT rear seats wont fit

Have you thought about re-trimming your existing seats in leather. Seat Surgeons - Automotive Leather Specialists - Makes are very good at this.

 

[hjdavies]
