A guide to fitting Audi tt mk1/Porsche996 front seats

[stezo2k]

One word: WOW

 

[fuzzy232]

im deffo doing this instead of repairing the rips in my seat ha

 

[SpongeRob]

finally completed and im happy, painted up the brackets last night matt black

You wouldn't happen to have the exact measurements for these brackets by any chance?
Would be a big help!

 

[cutchie]

looks quite easy and a very neat job might have a wee go at this hate the s spec seats

 

[jamie8954]

is it just tt mk1 seats that will fit ?

and do the back bench fit ?

 

[Lew89]

Nice guide, i think you made the right choice on seats; i prefer them to the 996's

i cant remeber offhand but its very easy to make up once you have the seats its only a retangular bit of metal for the bracket

just fronts back would need alot of fabricating

One small thing - surely the bracket would have been better at the tunnel side where you can't see it?

could do but the gap would prob be too big between the seat and the center console then so might look wierd, it wouldnt take long to try though as the bracket will just need flipping over to fit the tunnel side

The seats won't fit further to the outside, the heigt adjuster gets in the way.
It just so happens that I picked up a set of TT seats, the first models, so with less stitching lines.
When I dropped the passenger seat in for a test fit, I saw thta the best way to go is to put them in just the way Trevor did, you roughly keep the same distance between the seat and the center console.

 

[trevorb33]

yeah i had a look and yep your right the height adjuster gets in the way so this is the only way.

 

[SpongeRob]

Fitted the drivers' side chair yesterday and it's just such an improvement.
I can sit a lot lower, can see the climate control- and radio display better and the TT seat is comfier.
All I can say is that I'm glad I did this upgrade.
Passenger seat will follow next week.

Any ideas for the rear bench mate? Or just a retrim to match the fronts!?

 

[rod the sod]

Another quicky! Are the golf mark 4 seats the same or similar to the tt ones! I kno the a3 straight swop with the tt ones, and thought the a3 is similar the golf??

Cheers

Retrim is the way to go.
I already had an original leather interior, so I just relaced the front seats and leave it at that.

 

[rod the sod]

Nice mate! I love the look of those tt seats, really comfy too!

 

[rod the sod]

Does anyone kno how different the golf recaros are to the tt seats? has anyone tried these in their cars?

i kno people have fitted them into polo 6n2s and lupo so i assume they would get into the ibizas 9n!

any info?

 

[boyced]

is this the same to fit the tt seats in a mk4 golf?

MK4 Golf seats are wider than TT seats, think they're wider than Ibiza seats oo which would make fabricating a sub frame difficult.
