I would love to, but that price is for a trade for stock seats. I'm based in Oz, so that's going to get tricky and double shipping costs.

can i play,

I have RS4 cabriolet seats UBER rare, as the normal rs4's come out of a 4 door so they don't tilt unlike the cabby ones.





The rs4 seats have motorised bolsters and lumber supports and back supports none of the other models do this as well we also have these wired up so they are fully functional.

the only thing you need to modyfy on the runners is the audi fllor plan has a locating hole so the runner has a small metal stalk on that you need to shave off to make it sit flat on the vw floor as this doesnt have the locating hole in. Or drill the floor in your car but i know what i'd rather do ha ha.

You sure can.  :smiley: Thanks for the tip with the floor rail.  :happy2:

Did the plug for the airbags plug straight in, or did it require modification?


PS> Thanks for the input RR, Darren and Dave. Much appreciated.

Nice stuff N8KOW.  :congrats:

Look forward to some info on the heating/airbag. What model RS4 B7 did they originally come out of?

Didn't the B7 RS4 Cabriolet Recaro's come with side airbags, or is it just the wiring you're having looked at?

So many bloody variables between models with these seats. Does my head in.  :sad1:

@ N8KOW:
I wonder where you got the idea of carbon vinyl wrapping the seat backs  :wink: :wink:

All looks good  :happy2:

A signwriter from Manchester did mine, I can pass on his number if you like!

@ Red Robin. John told me about your seat backs, and I needed to sort out my door trims and something for the air ride controller. So 3M was the best option really, and as I was having the re-trim, perfect time for it to get done, yours inspired me for sure  :happy2:
