So this is what an R8 looks like with no seats in

And this what it looks like with a set of brand spanking new bucket seats in

Huge thanks to Master Tech nudenut who is good at switching seats these were in within 1hr!

Which gave just enough time for a wash

Dave are they from an S3 Black Edition?
And what seats did you have in there before?

Dunno why it does that sometimes! Will these S3 seats fit a C6? I'm loving my Supersports seats atm, but the buckets just look special.
