Lovely colour and first time I seen someone adding these seats in the back..kids would have one hell of a view when booted.

A 16 plate S3 Sportback past me this morning, I swear it was Cherry Black, looks gorgeous

I remember seeing a Cherry Black car on Autotrader years ago, cannot be many of them about so could be the same one.

I agree, lovely colour.

Was thinking about ordering an S1 in that colour but they are expensive enough already!

^ I remember that one too. It had ceramics. It actually came back on a few months ago too. Great colour.

never seen that before. how are the seats fitted? Any issues with insurance etc. are they legal?

Sorry not my car, just came across it but I thought the same about it being legal or insurance issues. I assume it must use the ski hatch and the clamp that holds the roller cover??

All I know is that was one hell of a determined owner....after having enough kids to fill the back seats, then refused to upgrade his/her car when they decided to have a new batch decided to have something built to hold the family rather than change to a 7 seater....thats dedication!!

Since the B7 was never available with 7 seats it won't be homologated, which means the seats have not passed any crash tests and it's very unlikely any insurance company would provide cover - assuming the modification is declared.

Hi all, a friend pointed me in this direction with regards the extra seats on my RS4,

A few points: the seats bolt directly onto the boot floor and come fully stamped and certified by the installer. My insurance company was willing to cover the vehicle as a 7 seater as long as I sent them the documentation and certificates of the conversion. They also stated there would be no adverse issues with premiums or cover, however I have no children or need for extra seats so have never insured the car with the extra seats or even used the seats - they came as an added bonus with the car and have just sat wrapped up in the garage.

The colour makes me want to keep it forever but time for a change! More than happy to answer any questions
