Audi TT Mk1 With Cobra Misano Lux Sport Seats
Customer cars, March 2020
We recently supplied one of our customers with a pair of Cobra Misano Lux reclining sport seats for an Audi TT Mk1, together with the Cobra fitting frames and seat sliders for the car. Here is the finished job, and the interior looks the part.
The seats are trimmed in black leather and Alcantara, with red Cobra logos and red stitching picking out the detail. Here is what went into the car, and what to think about if you want to do the same with yours.
- Car: Audi TT Mk1
- Seats: a pair of Cobra Misano Lux reclining sport seats
- Trim: black leather and Alcantara with red logos and stitching
- Fitting: Cobra Audi TT Mk1 fitting frames and seat sliders
- Each Misano is hand trimmed in the UK to the customer's spec
The car and the seats
The Mk1 TT has a distinctive cabin, and the seats are a big part of how it feels to sit in. A reclining sport seat suits a car like this well: more support and a sharper look, without giving up a proper recline or comfort on a long drive.
The Misano Lux fits that brief. It is a reclining sport seat, not a fixed back bucket, so the car stays easy to live with day to day while holding you better through a corner than a standard seat.
The Misano Lux pairs a lightweight composite backrest with a polished stainless steel reclining chassis. The backrest is offered in carbon or carbon reinforced aluminium composite, left on show as a finish of its own.
The recline is adjustable on both sides, and the foam is high density moulded polyurethane, firmer than a normal road seat so that it keeps its shape and holds you in place. The seat is rated for road and track use, and it takes a 4 point harness.
A trim built to order
Every Cobra Misano is hand trimmed in the UK, which is what makes a set like this possible. The customer chose black leather bolsters with Alcantara centres, then added red Cobra logos and red stitching to lift it. With Cobra seats, we confirm the colour combination with you before the seat is built.
If you have something particular in mind, a colour to match the car or a contrast stitch, Garreth’s advice is to send us a photo of the interior and let us suggest a combination. Keeping to two or three colours usually gives the best result.
Fitting them to the TT Mk1
The seats went in on Cobra’s direct fit subframes for the Audi TT Mk1, with Cobra seat sliders, so the seats bolt to the car’s original mounting points and keep their fore and aft adjustment. Using the frames made for the car is the simplest and most reliable way to fit a Cobra seat, and it means no cutting or drilling.
