Does anybody know will they fit ? If yes will it be plug-and-play ? From pictures and by ETKA looks that shouldn't be any problems.....

frame guide rails are the same, wiring will probably be different especially with the memory control module, but as long as you have the wiring diagrams from both cars and figure the pin outs, wiring in the motor controls and heaters should be straight forward.
My holiday vacation week will be spent finishing up the wiring in of V8 seats in my 5ktq.

From the pics the only thing is swapping the bases from left to Right. Cause obviousley the controls need to be swapped. Right hand drive...Left hand drive.
I put 2 sets of Urs sports in my V8's. One 90 V8,

& the other my 91 5sp V8....Mit S6 3 spoke sport wheel

The only thing I needed to do was swap a male connector to a femal connector on the pass side seat.
But memory, seat heaters, controlls work as they should.
So yes....plug & play.

I'm from here:

:-)
I know that mechanicaly seats will fit without any problem, and left hand drive I would need to swap only that connector. But there is cheap UK version donor and problems starts with memory. Technicaly of course is possible and very pity, that this donor car is 300km from my home (maybe for USA it is not a big distance :-)) ) which is too much to drive just for to have a look by myself in real to amount of coming job :-(

I got a 3 spoke wheel from an early B5 A4 (I believe it's the same) and tried it with both the V8 column covers and column covers from a C4 car, and neither worked for me ... yet....thanks
BTW, sport seats look great. If they came in blue I might consider a set......
