Bucket Seats In S3

[S3 OKR]

Just brought some bucket seats out of a r32 for my S3 8l. Does anyone know if theres a bracket of some sort to fit straight on or know anyone who can fit these seats in my car. Near to Luton?
Thanks

You may be able to use the sub frames from your original S3 seats, then they will slot straight into the sliders.

Thanks mate. Will have a play with them today.

Have you done this for cosmetics， weight saving or driving position?

I just really like the way the wingback seats look... i did weight both and the buckets are around 10kg lighter

Managed to get one in today. Pretty straight foward. Just need to make a bracket to make them fit.

Which bracket do you need to make?

That is fit, want!

i assume they're from a MK5 R32? look good!

Because the rails on the buckets are wider i had to make a bracket to connect the rails to the car subframe

Yup. R32.

Finally Finished. They sit perfect and feel much better

Have you thrown it in to any corners yet? I'd be interested to know how they are as I find my standard leather seats don't hug me enough and I slide off to the side. Was thinking of looking for an alternative

They are perfect mate. My brother had them in his B7 Rs4 thats what made me buy them.

Alcantara seats hold you in place much better than the leather version of the standard Recaros, I've had both and the alcantara seats are much grippier, I guess that's why they use it in race cars.

The airbag works but the media control dont. I will get it to work once i put a rnse in there.

Looks a nice place to be.

Were brackets only required for the runners closest to the doors?

Does the seat sit central to the steering wheel?

Brackets on all 4 sides. And yeh it sits perfect.
