      I think most seats could be fitted if you had the time / equipment and patience to give it a hack.

      I've seen that particular seat design before.... from a rover 600 I think from ~1995. From the ones I've seen, the leather doesn't seem to be standing the test of time too well & virtually all look like they need a retrim to look fresh again. 1/2 leather is a nice design though.....

                    I need new front seats -my wife says they're the most uncomfortable car seat she's ever sat in At the track day last week, I was sliding around in the driver's seat like a slippery eel - it's a good job that I'm so tall that the crash helmeet was so firmly jammed in against the roof of the car that at least that was holding me in place!

                    Those are great looking seats. Is a seat replacement an expensive job?

                          I was really impressed with the Recaro leather bucket seats for the RS4. Andiroo took me around Oulton Park in his loony-fast RS4 and the seats were awesome. Not sure I like the idea of a five point harness in a car without a roll-cage though. The Leather bucket seats were also available for the TT but I am sure Recaro may get you close with one of their subframes requiring a bit of custom work to implement properly. The seats were lovely and effective but unfortuately cost 1075 pounds each retail. Cloth versions are a few hundred quid cheaper but I believe prices are even cheaper in Europe for the same seats. I want some!
