A4 - Sports Seat Needed

[R100 OOF]

After quite a bit of dithering, I have finally decided ( I think ) that the only way to make life bearable for the next three years in my A4 SE spec ( 2008 B8 Model ) is to retro fit a sports type drivers seat. The lack of lumber adjustment in the standard seat somehow seems to mean I am constantly readjusting my seating position - coupled with the need to sit close enough to be able to mash the clutch through the bulkhead just to get to start the thing, leaves me with a thoroughly miserable driving position, something I have never experienced before or in other cars that I drive now. I need a seat that is more moulded ( sat in an S Line the other day, that seemed perfect ! ) but I cannot afford to change the car yet. I figure a recaro type seat will do the job, and still have a value at the end of the day, when the car finally goes. So - the question is - where should I go in the East Midlands to retro fit a sports / recaro type seat - Does anyone have any recommendations - as to the type of seat I could fit , and who could do the job .

Many thanks for any assistance

I think I'd be inclined to have a word with a big car breakers ( Douglas Valley are based in Lancashire) & try & track down some S-line seats.

Also worth checking ebay

They will be a straight swap & still have air bags (so no issues with the dash thinking the air-bags in the seats have deployed), and will still look "right" in the car (I think aftermarket seats always look a bit odd unless it's a track day car)

Thanks for the advice - Changing for an S Line seat sounds a great idea, but haven't been able to find one yet - I will look at the Breakers yards - do you think I need to obtain the same model year i.e a B8 S Line , or will any earlier model year fit ??

Many thanks
