Can anyone please post a pic of standard S3 leather seats? [img]images/graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img]
Were the leather seats always recaro as standard or was that an option?

I'm sure Riz has 6000 better ones but here is mine from the side to be going on with.
Cheers

Leather and Recaro's were always standard in the S3's.

Cheers but was hoping for a pic to show the design of the seats. Neither photo showed the backrest/headrest.
Wanted to see if they look particularly different from normal A3 leather seats.

What do you want to know about the differences mate? I've had both.

I have the opportunity to buy a black leather S3 interior for my A3 Quattro for £450 and wanted to see what one looked like.
Is quite different from the A3 seats in design.

That is a good price really. Remember that you may not have the power to hook up to the Recaros to move them about (which will be a headache). The seats are pretty good in the A3 anyway but the Recaros are the business [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] The leather is softer than the A3's which is nice, but for me I get a lot hotter in my S3 because the leather tends to stick to me more, if you see where I'm coming from.
I take it that the sub frames are the same, or come with the seats? Do you also get the door cards?
Good luck eitherway,
Ben

that is a good price. I was told the Recaros for the fronts are £1500 quid each new.

I agree with Paul - that is a v. good price. Won't ask where that came from then!!
Do the electrics need some consideration?

Yes I thought about that too and in the end decided I couldn't be arsed right now so let it go.
Decided more hassle than worth given the standard seats are pretty nice anyway and heavily bolstered.
Better things to do with £450 anyway.
But cheers for the help people. [img]images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
