[rOb_A]

Starting to really like my A3 SLine SB and I'm looking at some mod's.
How easy are S3 buckets to come by? if i looking at retro fitting them. any idea of costs 2nd hand? any know if any are for sale? thanks in advance

LOL! rare as hens teeth and I think you'd be looking at £2k easy

 

[crypric23]

£2500 for S3 buckets including door cards and back seats.

cheers for the replies, new to the forum so good to see its a friend place. is the £2.5k a dealer price?

I know a guy selling RS4 seats like what I've got in my SB, they are better as they have electric bolsters and lumbar.

 

[PH1L]

however are slightly more useless than the s3 ones in a 3 door!

cheers N8 any idea on price, are they easy to fit? i have full leather s-line seats to get rid of if i go down this root. would these sell easy? and what price would i get for them

 

[N8]

£1700 for front seats and back bench (which you can sell). Yes I got £300 for my fronts, they are straight fit once you trim 2 locator lugs off, 1 off each seat, and they bolt straight in, I gotta go take my whole interior out now as my interior getting trimmed 2moro.

[N8]

Buckets make the car complete, if you find them buy them you will have no regrets,

 

[rOb_A]

yep rs4 seats look spot on!! how much could i get for the back seat you mentioned? where are rs4 seats based?

 

[N8]

They based in Buxton, your cheshire anyway! You should see £200 ish, plus sell ur fronts, ur laughing.

 

[rOb_A]

N8 me ok to pm you so i can find a bit more info on retro fitting the rs4 seats? anyone interested in some s-line full leather front seats??

 

[emeraldA3guy]

bloblob2 what color? I am in the US. IF price & color is right I will just take the seat cover + padding. I do not need the frame as they just swap over to my premium seats.

 

[N8]

Yes pm me, but fitting the seats is easy man, 4 spot bolts and saw off 2 locator luggs, thats it

 

[MR ANGRY]

I know a little bit about this subject!

 

[Spin140]

You seem chilled today ?

Only joking !!

Mr A was probably the man responsible for raising the average price paid for used Buckets, on reflection they are worth the outlay, I guess I'm saying you were right Mr A.

What are you driving now you have sold the S3 ?

 

[MR ANGRY]

Hi spin, yes i sold the S3.
Loved the car to look at, the spec was out of this world, & probably something that i will never be able to afford again (unless i have a lottery win).
But to be honest, for my driving style now as a pretty sensible 47 yr old it did not warrant throwing as much fuel at it as i had to.
It was quick, make no mistake. But i do like my diesels to be honest.
Since sold my high spec 3 yr old s line 140 tdi as well, as i expected it to be redundtant with the arrival of the S3.
Sitting now without a good car to my name, very close to buying another s line tdi.
Its between two cars, one Ibis 170 good spec sline, & a pretty average spec 140 black edition s tronic in monza silver.
Dont know whether to buy or wait for the new shape to come, which i guess must be next year now.
Cheers.
