Oooops. That's the worst thing I could have done. I put finger to keyboard and came up with rubbish and you are all right, my car is not a B1 coupe. It is a B2 coupe. I apologise to msh.
p.s. the seats still don't fit. I am going for the A6 seats and somehow someone will make them fit I hope! If not, there will be bits of seats for free uplift.
On a different note, my car is now back with the garage to have the injectors fitted and one of the studs on the manifold fixed.

What's the reason to put in coupe seats that are from sedan?

thefirstdoc1 · 13-01-09, 03:39 PM

In answer to your question, they look nice and are in very good condition plus they are comfortable and, hopefully, will stop my head coming off in a crash.

Thanks for the feed back. that was the route that i had decided to try. and now that I know that someone has done this before, I am now more confident. P's I went for seats from a Saab 9000.
I will post some pic's in the next few days.

As a matter of fact, the head rest is only good for one of those African tribeswomen that have all the rings around their elongated necks as that would be about the only way to reach it. In other words I think that my head will come off if someone crashes into the back of the car. So, can someone please tell me what other seat will fit my Audi?

p.s. I have tried a seat from the Audi A6 M-reg, but the runners were just too wide at
21". My coupe is around 19".

You must be a midget! My headrest is at the top of it's travel and my head is still way above it. In fact my head is virtually touching the roof and that is with it in it's lowest position.
