Would Fiesta ST seats fit an S3
Discussion
Excellent, thank you for all input.
black_potato, thank you for offering to measure.
First of all maybe a blunt question by are they as comfortable as they look in the picture? Would you, having driven in them, recommend installing them in a TVR? They sure look nice.
Are yours fully manual?
As for measures I would need the overall hight from floor to top of the seat in an up-right position. If close to 100cm please take a look if there seem to be a way of lowering the base. I think I can get away with about 96-97cm height from floor to the targa bow. And with the backrest leaning backwards it will be slightly lower.
I also would need the width of the cushion front, rear and the widest point which seem to be in the middle. These cars are very narrow and also would appreciate measures of the width of the backrest bottom, mid and top.
Is it possible to remove the airbags in the garage at home? Would the seatshave to have to come all apart?
How does the belt tensioner work? Can it be removed? I have a 4 Point harness in my car so I don't need that.
Kind regards and thank you

Wow. Thank you.
I had no idea that they were that high. Width is probably workable but height kind of killed that idea....
I can’t see how they kan be lowered to go under 970mm.
Too bad they looked real nice. And would have been perfect in my red with grey interior S3
The search continues....
Thank you for your kind assistance.

Hi
Maffe, thank you for the offer on the Chim seats, I have to think about that one.
In the meantime I found these, they are from a BMW 1 series M. They are low only 950mm so they should fit. Any thoughts or experience if they are nice and comfy?
These are from a rather new 1 M convertible and full leather I think. Decent price also.
All input appreciated
Kind regards
