lol tdi's over here sell for a conciderable lot more money as they hold there value more than petrol , not concidered cheap , but will push 600miles to a tank, but still have the performance

I didn't mean the price was cheap, I ment they give the idea that the owner is cheap. I very much want a tdi avant!

Those are not the sport seats I had those seats in the a4 i just sold. The way to tell from pictures like that is that the sides are flush with the front of the seat.

see how in the pictures the side bolsters are shorter in length, and larger in heighth than where your knee sits? those are sport seats. i have seen sport cloth seats in both patterns.

Ahhhhh this makes sense^^

I never knew there were actual sport seats. I thought the term "sport cloth" just referred to the pattern of the cloth on the seats. Learn somethin new everyday! Thanks flynn!

no problem!

here is a quick pic of the seats in my old a4... i traded a guy straight up for these (I had leatherette in it when i bought it) my leatherette had a couple rips in it and everything and the guy didnt care lol he just wanted 'leather interior' best trade of my life!

I am nearing a deal with a guy about an hour away from me with sport seats that he was going to put in his car, but i told him that i would buy them from him for more than he paid lol so he is considering selling them to me (for a pretty good price too!) I pray to all that is holy that i can grab these seats from him i LOVE sport cloth seats...

looks good. I really think you should get silver s4/votex sideskirts and paint the rear valence or get a votex one too. it would make it look a lot better. right now I think the front lip looks too low compared to the rest of the car because it's the only painted piece

how's your gas mileage (kilometerage?) with that engine?
