Also bolt in so no permanent mods, seat belt buckle is on the subframe on b3/4 so that is sorted as well.

Golf recaro subframes come up for sale more regularly than Audi ones, and can be modified to fit I believe.

If you are fitting a cage you can also just weld bars across with mounting tabs.
Yup, cage is awaiting fitment, Safety Devices still have the fitment kit...(saved making one up). I did think about just welding in bars as you suggest.. I'm just weighing up the options, however as the car will end up doing hillclimb and sprints I'm only really needing one race seat. I'd just like the passenger seat to resemble whatever I'm using, but adjustable rather than fixed.

Cheers for the idea of the subframe though... that could be a wise and cost effective solution.
