What you could do is to do is try to get a left hand drive air bag light off light, you would be able to move it over then.

Hay presto....

No you wouldn't that switch is square so would fit both sides. ( as long as its next to the hazard switch)

Another question for you guys, The door cards that i'm putting in at the weekend have got the holes for the door lock pins, i don't have any in my current interior, can i get blanking plates/bungs to go in the holes?

No they are not available as separate parts only as part of the door card, I filled mine and painted them black (They are removable) until I picked up a set of LCR door cards, which I then butchered removing the cloth inserts and replaced with my LC leather bits.

Ok, cheers, what did you fill them in with? I was thinking i could get the same alarm LED ones that i have in the drivers door and just use them, don't care that they won't light up.

removing the cloth inserts and replaced with my LC leather bits.

How easy was that?

 

[Phillc]

I used normal car filler sanded it smooth annd painted black, removing the cloth bit was quite easy, its all held on by plastic weld i just drilled them out, and an added bonus is that the plactic bit holds the leather bit in when bolted back on the car, so there is no great need to fix back as it was before.

If u put the S3 rears in do the rear seats retain all three 3-point seatbelts?

 

[Cupra_R04]

you cant retain all three 3 points middle is just a lap belt unless someone has a way of them being three point.

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

Does the S3 rears not have 3 normal belts like the Leon Recaro's?

No middle one is a lap belt.

Ive got to agree, i dont like the idea of a sweaty arse and sliding around on them through corners etc. BUT i do like the idea of a toasty bottom for the winter months with the heating in the seats.... ummmmm lol
