Customer Car: Audi TT Fitted With Mirco RTX-7 Bespoke Trimmed Bucket Seats
One of our recent customers brought their Audi TT into the showroom with a vision for a more track-focused yet stylish interior, and the result is nothing short of spectacular. They opted for a pair of bespoke Mirco RTX-7 fibreglass fixed-back bucket seats, finished in breathable 3D spacer fabric for comfort and durability. The seats feature custom yellow-painted back shells that make an immediate visual impact, paired with blue stitching and embroidery to perfectly match the Audi’s exterior paintwork. This combination brings together performance and style in a way that complements the car’s personality. To tie the whole look together, they installed yellow TRS 4-point road harnesses, creating a cohesive interior colour scheme that stands out both on and off the track.
The overall effect is a cockpit that not only feels ready for competitive driving but also makes a statement the moment you open the door. The bright yellow shells contrast beautifully against the blue bodywork, while the stitching detail adds that touch of refinement you’d expect from a premium seat upgrade. This build shows exactly how a splash of colour and the right seat choice can completely transform the driving environment. It is a perfect blend of functional motorsport equipment and personal style, offering the driver the support needed for aggressive cornering while also giving the cabin a bespoke, high-end feel.

Featuring aggressive shoulder supports, deep side bolsters, and high thigh supports, the RTX-7 keeps you firmly planted even in the most demanding driving conditions. Whether you are hammering through track corners or carving up a winding road, the seat’s lateral support is exceptional.
Mirco offers an incredible level of customisation for this model with over 250 variations available. You can choose your shell colour, stitching colour, trim material, and even add personal embroidery. Our customer’s blue and yellow combination is just one example of what’s possible.
Key Features:
- FIA-approved fibreglass shell for track and competition use
- 3D spacer fabric trim for improved breathability and comfort
- Aggressive shoulder and thigh bolsters for maximum lateral support
- Compatible with 4, 5, and 6-point harnesses

Dimensions and Fitment in the Audi TT
The Audi TT doesn’t have the largest cockpit, but the Mirco RTX-7 fits perfectly without any door card modifications or contact over the centre console. The seats also leave enough room to adjust for taller drivers while maintaining a balanced fit in the cabin.
Main Measurements:
- Shoulder width: 600mm
- Width at the hips: 385mm
- Front base width: 420mm
- Seat length: 615mm
- Seat height: 920mm
- Hight up to the harness slots: 645mm
- Width at the thighs: 490mm
- Height to the shoulders: 620mm
We recommend the Mirco RTX-7 for drivers with a 32-36 inch waist if they want a bit of movement for daily comfort, or for drivers with a 36-38 inch waist looking for a tighter, motorsport-oriented fit.
Why Choose a Mirco Bucket Seat?
Mirco bucket seats are a top choice for drivers who want more than just a generic off-the-shelf product. What sets Mirco apart is their ability to offer one of the most extensive customisation programs in the motorsport seat market, with over 250 variations available across its range. You can change the shell colour, stitch colour, trim material, and even add personal embroidery to make your seat truly unique. This level of flexibility allows drivers to create a seat that perfectly matches their car’s interior, exterior, or even their personal branding. From bold, high-contrast combinations to subtle, OEM-inspired designs, the options are almost limitless, and the end result is a seat that’s both functional and visually distinctive.
It’s not just about looks either. Mirco seats are designed to meet the demands of both casual track day drivers and serious competitors. They combine deep bolsters, aggressive shoulder supports, and ergonomic shaping to keep you secure during high-G cornering, while offering a range of trim materials for comfort and durability. Their FIA-approved range is suitable for full motorsport use, and the variety of sizes means they cater to different driver builds without compromising fit or support. With Mirco, you get a seat that is tailored to you in every sense — in fit, performance, and style, making them a great investment whether you’re upgrading a track toy, a show car, or a weekend road warrior.
Installation Process
Our customer chose to use SW Motorsport fitting equipment for their Audi TT Mk2, pairing a model-specific sub-frame with SW Motorsport side mounts for a solid, fixed installation. This setup ensures the seats are securely positioned while keeping them as low as possible for maximum headroom, which is especially useful for taller drivers or those wearing helmets on track. The SW Motorsport brackets are designed with precision to fit the contours of the TT Mk2 floor, providing a rigid mounting point without the need for excessive modifications.
For those looking for an alternative, we recommend the Planted Technology Audi TT Mk2 seat bracket. This is a vehicle-specific frame that lines up perfectly with the factory bolt holes in the floor of the TT Mk2, making installation quick and hassle-free. One of the standout features of the Planted frame is its versatility it comes with all three of the most common bolt patterns: 291mm for Cobra base-mounted seats, 345mm for the Mirco RTX-7 and most standard-sized bucket seats, and 405mm for XL-sized seats. While the 405mm option is available, we generally do not recommend fitting XL seats into the TT Mk2 due to the restrictive cockpit space, as larger shells are likely to cause clearance issues with the doors and centre console. When combined with compatible side mounts such as the Sparco FIA steel mounts and optional Sparco sliding runners, the Planted frame provides a flexible base that can cater to both fixed and adjustable seating setups.
Our Recommended Alternative Bucket Seats for the Audi TT Mk2
From experience, we know which bucket seats fit perfectly into the TT Mk2 without any clearance issues or interior modifications. Alongside the Mirco RTX-7, we recommend the Sparco Evo, Cobra Nogaro, and OMP TRS-E for those looking for different styles and fitments. All of these models offer great lateral support while working within the TT’s cockpit space constraints.
