So I discussed this idea a while back when I was talking about mods/retrofits I would like to do. I gave it up as it seemed to much hassle but I have got the itch once again and now after scouring forums etc, it could be back on the cards but I need your advice and help
So orginally this was done by some guys on the audi Holland forum which I have linked below . To view the thread you do need to register ( which is quick) and then use Google translate. Luckily on my mac and safari it is built in and although the translation is a bit hit and miss I think I get the gist of it .

Now I have translated it and then saved the thread as a PDF which is attached . Now a while back it was said the easiest rear folding set ( and fronts ) to swap is the S4 B7 version as less faffing with bolsters etc so I have found a set on ebay. Not cheap but are leather recaro and full set.
Where I am stuck on ( as described in the PDF ) is the parts I need from a dealer or online. Loads of bolts, screws, clips and other fastening/metal things. This is where I need your help guys on how to source them and exactly what I need as I cant seem to understand the parts section.
Obviously I am trying to avoid as much cutting as possible but drilling and tapping I can do if needed as I am fairly handy with that sort of thing.
Any obvious pitfalls to avoid and of course feel free to say I am a numpty for even trying . and yes I should have bought an Avant
But interested if it is possible . thanks
