    Front passenger seat removal on 3 door S3

    Just looking for some info/help on this subject. How easy is it to remove the passenger side bucket seat and replace it with a "standard" A3/S3 front seat? Is it just a case of removing a few bolts and disconnecting the electrical plug on the underside or is there more to it? Thanks all.
