Default Manual to power seats, possible?

My wife's 1999 A4 has manual seats, and she find them very uncomfortable.

I was contemplating replacing them with power seats, hopefully sport ones.

Does anyone:

1. knows if it's possible?
2. have any for sale? (black / dark gray pref'd)

Thanks.

Default Aren't the tracks different? IIRC...

manual seats have the front anchor/adjustment point in the center of the seat on a raised part of the floor.

power seats have a track on each side of the seat the both front and rear mounts into.

Swapping the might entail a little welding and fabricating, but should be 'doable' if you have those skills. Don't forget about running the wiring for the seats.

Here's a little more info from someone who's actually done it:<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a4/msgs/2643637.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/a4/msgs/2643637.phtml</a</li></ul>
