Fitting leather covers

[robin]

On the earlier A2s they don't have a flaf at the back of the seat to stop things falling down the back of the seat maybe this is what he is on about.
They do look like they are sports seats from the pictures.

Cheers

Hi erstens, I have standard leather seats and have 3 seams. I have just looked through photos on classified adverts, sports . The best way is to identify is by part number, failing that, get a measure of the width of the 'wings', they are much larger than standard on the sports.

Oh, thanks. This is interesting. I had a look to more pictures I saved. I will find out more...

There don't appear to be any part numbers. There are just 2 labels with various numbers on. I took a photo of the labels if that's any help (sorry the quality is not very good).

Label 1

Label 2

Hi Mark,

These numbers may be batch numbers, but they are not part numbers - look for something starting with 8Z0 881.......

Hi Mark,

The labels are those of the 3rd party manufacturer, WET Automotive and other than the colour code (6Y6) and the colour name (Amulet Red) there is no info that I can tell the seat type from.

The best bet is to look at the backrest covers - sport seats have a very large side support, as opposed to the standard seats. Measure the distance from the vertical seam in the seat back to the vertical seam on the side support and compare the measurement to your own seats.

Cheers,

Mike

I read: W10 (A2) Basis mit HZ . It means: basic with heating (HZ= Heizung). So the sports version should not be "basic"

Just wanted to let everyone know that I never got around to fitting these covers as I didn't think they really went with my light grey interior. Also I'm still not sure if they fitted my seats, so if anyone still wants to take the plunge and try them in their car, they are back on Ebay now here.
