just saw this on ebay if anyone needs new seats... I know one of the guys in oz that needs to replace his white leather/suede seats but no shipping.

They're out of a B6 S4!
Wrong shape, size, year, ali trim, window controls!
Nice interior though
Cheers

Have advised the seller, he's going to ammend the ad. To be fair, he really had no idea. He also told me how much he paid for them

Yeah, I had a word with him as well, he was a bit confused when I said it was for the B6 A4, ha asked if it would still fit an A4?!

So how much did he pay for them? I have no intention of bidding as they wont fit in my car! Just curious!

I was also loosly looking at the idea of some nice new seats.. Would make a huge difference. anyone had any experience or is it more of a pain than it's worth? can they be re-connolised, or wahtever the expression is...

Try this link. I was going to get my seats re-done in my RS2, but sold it before i got round to it.Apparently the guy down here is based in Croydon and Essex......

Thanks for that, intertesting to understand what re connolising actually entails - I thought it was re-covering with new leather, I fancied black instead of the silver!

Hmm interesting. I find the B5 Recaros are too wide for my narrow frame with poor shoulder suport. I've considered fitting the new design i.e. B6 Recaros like this but then they won't have the RS4 logo on the seat and I'd have to have them recovered to suit my Hi-tech material. So not the best option for me. I'll have to wait until the new RS4 comes out and see what seats are fitted to it
PS that rear seat looks twisted not suprising given this came from a write off and what kind of stain was he trying to remove ???
Still it looks like a good buy for someone looking to up grade their interior.

Now up to £775... still a reasonable buy I think even for S4 seats.

Assume these wouldnt fit a B5 S4?

I'm not 100% sure but I would say almost definitely not fit in a B5

I don't see why the front seats would not fit a B5 with the correct seat base to floor mounts. You may have to have something welded up/modified but it wouldn't be that difficult.
The only complicated issue for me as (I'm crap with electrics) would be if the car didn't have the wiring for the motors and also I'm not sure where the side air bags get their control from?
