for a 4 door hatch I think it looks the nuts, the seats look great....I think the buckets would look out of place.

the stock seats are extremely good and very comfortable, i test drove mine for about an hour before buying it and they where great, i do wonder how comfortable the buckets would be for the 3-4 hours a day i sit in a car, especially if your 6' 2" and 250lbs :beerchug:

the buckets do look very cool thou :biggrin2:

I agree, they do look good. Had them in my RS4 they do go down as the comfiest seats....but you are right, only if you fit...my Wife hated them at 5'4". Going from buckets to "comfort" in my subsequesnt S4 took about a month to get used to the lack of lateral support.

Doesn't have black optics as stated. Price looks heavy. Like the colour, though I prefer Mica or Sepang blue.

I have the buckets and for me it's one of the things that makes it look and feel special.

This is a Q car but when you see the buckets you just smile and think "hell yeah"

They are super comfy and I am 6 1 and around 200lbs

*reaches for paint code book

The ad says cornflower blue - but that has got to be the closest to the original Nogaro blue a la B4 RS2 and B5 RS4. Sprint and Sepang simply doesn't look as good [to my eyes] as the original RS Blau.

Anyone thinking about Sepang Blue with extended ali trim?
recon that would be a win win combo

Nope.

A1 seats are completely different from A3 seats. The standard RS3 seat has more lateral bolster support than even an S3 seat.

I had a Cornflower Blue demo back in the days when the MkI A3 was out. From my memory it was much lighter. That being said it was about 12 years ago!

This looked like Nogaro to me too!
