Possible Newbie & Buckets

Post by ShaneyB » Fri Jun 28, 2013 7:54 pm

Hi all,
I've been toying with going down the C6 RS6 route or RS3. Whilst I like the 6 I don't to the miles to justify getting one so I may look at the 3.

Something I haven't seen on here (apologies if I missed it) but would like to know is, do the RS3 buckets suffer with the same wear/inflation issues with bolsters as the 4? Are they too new to see evidence of this yet?

Anyone near the Uxbridge area who fancies a mini meet so I can get some info would be great?

Cheers

Same seat as B8, they'll show the same wear after 5 mins. But the standard supershite seats are a bit meh.

In the B8 they look buggered after 5 mins. Not as severe as B7 I believe, though will leave to others better placed to comment.

Shane,

I'll be at Goodwood in a couple of weekends time and staying near Richmond Park if you can wait until then to have a ride out in one unless someone else local offers. Only have normal seats though.

My R8 buckets had a buggered seat bolster.

Just had the car detailed at Drayke Fields and they sorted it for me

Sanded it down and dyed it using special stuff....good as new!
