Thanks. I friend ooking for options other than going for the full s8 sinice ideally would he would like to have the long wheel base of the A8L but the stock seats are a deal breaker.
TIA

Don't think the S6/RS6 seats would fit, I put 98 S8 seats in my 97 A8, perfect fit

Default Here you go

Got them from the UK, they were grey, had them dyed to Ecru, and put new grey alcantara inserts in them. I also did the front door panels, but don't have any pictures.

Default I've also thought of putting S8 seats in an A8L. Here is an S8 interior available on German ebay

Keep in mind that if you intend to also change the door panels (because you want the carbon fibre trim or S8 wood trim) the rear door panels will not fit, because the doors on the A8L are larger than the S8 doors. Everything else (including front and rear seats) should fit.<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;category=53953&amp;item =7972685986&amp;rd=1">EBAY # 7972685986</a></li></ul>
