B7 RS4 Recaro Comfort - Bucket swap

I have a pair of Recaro 'Comfort' seats fitted in my B7 RS4 and am looking for a swap with a pair of Buckets.

My RS4 has covered 40K and the seats are in superb conditon. Obviously no rip, tears, marks and all electrics work, they have been regularly treated with Gliptone products. Apart from a few unaviodable slight creases in the bolsters they are like new.

I'm looking to swap for a pair of buckets in equally as good condition. I do realise that there will be some degree of bolster wear regardless.

I live in Bedfordshire and will be happy to travel to faciliate any possible swap.

Many thanks

Pete

Hi,

I am looking to buy a B7 just now, and i want one with comofrt seats, so potentially we may be able to help each other out.
There are two cars i am looking at just now one with, and one without.
However knowing this, helps me look at other cars too.

Do you know who easy it easy to swap over? not something i have any experience of. Would obviously want them properly fitted so that everything works.....

Do you also have photos??

Thanks

For anyone thats interested, here's a few pics of my 'comforts'. The light is a bit harsh and the camera is a bit rubbish so the pics don't really do them justice. As you can see, they really are in excellent condition.
