Has anyone ever tried putting wingbacks in an 8v? I’m guessing with subframe mods there is no reason why they wouldn’t fit.

ive seen buckets in a 8V before, pretty sure they fit however not sure if wiring modifications are required

It was a real shame Audi niever offerd these as an OE fitment in the 8V series.  :(

You could probably get the old style ones (a la RS4 etc) to fit, but the ones you want are the non-UK market new style buckets that we only see in the current R8. Not sure why we didn’t get the option, they even had them in press cars, but if someone finds a set of those I’d buy them.
