Update..

Tadaaaaaa! There finally in!! Got the frames a couple of hours ago and go straight to it, not driven the car yet, but straight away the driving position is 100 times better with the correct frames fitted to each side of the car!

They look and feel great and they are extremely light too, you can pick the whole assembly (seat / frame / rails) up and support it mid air with one finger through one of the belt guides, trust me, I did it lol.. Very light!

Heres some pics of the seats in the car, I think they really look OEM! These are the same seats that Audi installed in the Quattro sport TT a while ago, so kind of keeping in with the OEM VAG look..






This pic really nicely shows up the colour of the shells, they are really high metallic black finish, looks great!



The only potential downside of these seats (not that it bothers me one bit) is if you had rear seats in the car, and wanted to use them then its going to be pretty much impossible, yes you can slide the seats fully forward, but its still a pretty tiny gap to squeeze through, and not particularly safe if you needed to get out of the back of the car in a hurry!

Right! What next.. haha..

Looking.....what's the word?....cunning?.....no.....Stunning!! That's the word.

They breathe quality and fit in very well, both physically and in style.
