hey mate. about half an hour job per seat. depends how the runners work, grinding and welding skills...
i basically had to cut the runners off the original audi seats and get them into a secure, safe state.. by welding a long metal bar across the back of the runners to for a square shape.
i then unbolted the runners off the subaru seats and lined the audi runners up to the seat.
trick is to use a spirit level to make sure its flat first. tack the welds and test BEFORE fully welding it, as you may need to make modifications.
I found that aftermarker seats tend to sit higher because the original ones are very very low.
the subaru seats are the comfiest seats i've ever sat in! had them in my a4 before this lol
back seats are in, bit more work, but nearly thereits all fun and games... and who else can say that have 2005 subaru impreza seats in there audi a3?
Must admit I do like Scoobyseats. Can you modify anything cause though I've got Cupra R's in mine I wouldn't mind some Mk FR seats if they could be modified to fit. Not sure if they fit straight in but I was told not.
see you there then, im not camping tho, cant afford a mad weekend, as im on a road trip to the Spa GP 2 weeks later.
you can make anything fit. just depends how much time and effort your willing to put in.
i welded the seats in and then got them double checked by a garage. all seems fine
so i'm happy!
Thanks. Each to his/ her own I guess. I like them though I'm gonna wrap my steering wheel in Carbon fibre. I've had the wheel on 4 cars now and I'm attached to it...."Eeeet feels Gooood!!!
Nice motor VAGerbond!
Whether people like the stickers or not is totally irrelevant.
For what it's worth, if you look beyond the stickers, they give it that vdub feel which in turn suits the overall vibe of the car.
I think she looks all the better for it as it's yet another different style which is difficult to achieve with such a specific car as the Leon.
Like it dude & good on ya for starting a RR thread.
EDIT: forgot to say, love the wheels - inside & outside!

Thanks alot. The good comments are what made me glad I did the thread. There will always be people who don't like stuff we do but they won't be driving it. lol

You're absolutely right. I guess there's nothing wrong with stating an opinion, as bad one's have to come with good one's or else what's the point.
I just think that it's too easy to merrily type away when you don't know someone, when you have nothing positive to say. But then if we were all the same, life (& forums) would be pretty boring huh?!
There's plenty of motors on here which aren't to my taste but so what, it's not MY car & I won't be the one driving it. But whether I like a car or not I always appreciate the effort & time that the owner has put into it. So good on ya fella & here's to being different!

Hiya mate just read your RR thread. Shame you sold her I do like that colour. Are you still a V.A.G-ger??
Nah dude!
I'm now a Pain In The Ass cycling commuter!
But I'm on the hunt for a new motorbike though for when the legs are TOO tired hahaha!
I am toying with the idea of an old veedub though. Maybe a Jetta or something as long as it's cheap-cheap-cheap. Would love a low n dirrty mk2 but too much money unless I go for a cheaper bike - which I won't!

Toying with the idea of fitting a TT dash.. Not sure if it will fit but but it is the same platform and ours is the same as an A3/ S3. any views on if it can be done??
Cupra R glovebox fitted pics included
Fitted my Black Cupra R glovebox today, My old one was grey.Easy to do and lock from old one changed too. £20 from a bloke who was breaking his and included the tray insert from the 6 disc changer. BARGAIN!!!!
Before.
[/IMG]
After
I have read a few people have had problems changing the lock.
This is what I did.
1. Remove Glovebox.
2. Open the glovebox and you will find four screws at the back of the handle/ lock.
3. Remove these and gently prise away the unit.
4. at the side of the handle gentle prise away the retaining lips.
5. Lift back the 4 plastic "fingers" holding the lock in place and push the lock out.nb. which direction the lip is on the back of the lock so the "old" lock goes in the same way.
6. Replace the "old" lock into the handle and fit in reverse.
Job done. Sit back and gloat.

Looking good, I wish I would have bought the glove box you did, yours doesnt have a nasty scratch on it!
