And these are the bucket version (I would love to find a pair of these) that I came across in a black avant on Autotrader -

Not seen that either, but i think think that the contrast between leather and cloth works really well.

Seen these before. Works better on the buckets IMO . Prefer them over my full leather buckets, breaks up the interior and adds more character

Quite nice.. Is it the same as the HiTech finish on some of the later B5's?

I am amazed how rare they are considering they weren't special order.
Having said that the hitec in the B5 was cheaper than the full leather, not the case with the B7 so quite justifiably perceived as a bad deal, unless you, as many do, don't like leather. You can bet an Audi main dealer will value it less for that.

I have this in mine, like the additional grip it gives and keeps seats cooler but anticipate a dealer would devalue, looks great in the flesh and breaks the interior up.

Historically, they might be seen as the cheap option but I think they are gorgeous.

If I were in the market and the seller determined a small premium should be paid for that interior, I'd be happy to pay.

I have these too, not seen very many with this as a selected option. Really do keep your a**e planted and looks great! Do love the bucket version but seems very rare.

Just realised that the OP had these on non-bucket seats
IIRC they were only an option on buckets, to see them on non-buckets is a bit peculiar as they look like the B5 seat!
