S3 / R32 seats

[BlackCupraa]

Hi Guys,

I said I wouldn't modify the Leon so here goes.

Currently I'm on the lookout for a few things, however I have seen some of the AMAZING S3 optional seats for sale, you know the Konig type ones with massive bolsters etc? http://image.eurotuner.com/f/8931428+w750+st0/0606_27z+2007_Audi_RS4+Interior_Seats.jpg

Will these be a direct fit into my 2008 Seat Leon FR (petrol) with no messing around? I know that these were heated and my car doesn't have Heated seats, but will they bolt straight in and will the Airbag circuits be the same?

Thanks

How much??

They are RS4 recaro seats, worth about £1500 each

I know what they are mate, just wanted to know how much he was paying because you might be able to get new normal recaros for a good price

They are £400 they aren't the RS4 Recaros but one's out of an S3 so have the MKV chassis mounts (for an S3 at least) as they were an optional extra.

Any ideas if they are a direct bolt on?

 

[F3ADM]

Should be yeah, if they are the seats in the photos you've got a mighty bargain

Yes I know hence the question, only issue is they are leather and my interior is cloth, so would need a retrim of the rear bench and door cards. Also the "new" seats recline as they are out of a 3 door.

I've seen people swap seats from a Leon to a mk5 golf and they haven't had any issues apart from the airbag connection, even on the Leon they changed the connection plug from one year to the other.
I fitted new cupra seats in my Leon and got a garage to sort out the wiring.

But what about electrical alignment? Leons dont have electrical alignment with memory etc.

imho the best fitting seats in a Leon are the recaro sportsters. I managed to buy a near new pair with aibags for under 1500 gbp and they fitted and looked perfect.
Saw another Leon with customized Renault megane recaro's (whichs are sportsters) and the owner paid under 1000 gbp for them (plus the work to adapt the rails to fit).

The sportster look a bit like the seats Audi uses only the trim/leather is way better quality.
