So recently I managed to source a set of full leather S-line seats from an A5 coupe for £150. I've been able to fit the front two by grinding down one locator lug on each side (pics of front seats below)
Don't worry I've already been flamed for my taste (or lack of it regarding the white Centre console, it'll be changed soon)
I'm having a real hard time working out how the rears go in. I remember reading something about this claiming that the actual backrest needs to be shortened but it infact is the correct height to fit in by the looks of it, it seems to be getting stuck on a square(ish) metal piece just underneath the bar on which the seat tilts on, (pic below)
Now can I just grind this piece off to fit the seats or will the loss of that piece be detrimental in some way, I just want these seats in so if anyone would be so kind to shed some light on my situation, I'd be very grateful.
Thanks in advance!!
