    Anyone want to do a front end swap?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Have you guys seen this new SEAT? Look real close.







    I'm sure it wouldn't be that hard to bolt that front end on our cars. It looks like the trunk and rear bumber would also fit because the rear quarters didn't change.



    I want to swap in these seats!

    I guess you could, but why would you WANT to? The front end of our car is much more sexay. Now the seats...I would take those.

    I agree our cars look better, but it would make for an interesting OEM+ show car.

    I wonder how much it would cost to get the seats though. Probably a lot based on what seats cost from the dealership. They're hot though.

    Yep. And I wish they sold the SEATs and Skodas here. They make some cool less expensive cars.

    The headlights are a bit current Camry-ish, but it would be something different. I need to see a lighter paint color. I like those rims though, i wonder if they are 5x112?

    I'm sure they are 5x112. VWAG isn't going to spend money to change the bolt pattern on a quick rebadge like this.

    They look kind of like the cheap base wheels on the A4, but chrome.

    Porsche is part owner VAG but isn't considered part of the volkswagen group. FYI Ferdinand Porsche designed the Volkwagen Beetle back in the day.

    Re: Anyone want to do a front end swap?

    although i like the b8 front end better than the seat, the uniqueness of having a one of a kind look over here would be worth the swap.

    Re: Anyone want to do a front end swap?

    The seats are definitely pretty sweet. Though I personally think the B7 has a much nice front fascia. I remember reading an online article somewhere that SEAT was considering an North American launch????

    Re: Anyone want to do a front end swap?

    I wonder if the RNS-E is updated at all? There was an article (interview with some guy from VWoA) on VWVortex about the new 3G MMI system, and in there he mentioned that a "pretty sweet update" was coming next year for the RNS-E. He didn't mention what all the update would entail, but if it includes a real ipod interface I would consider scrapping the Pioneer i just bought for it.

    Yes the A4 Brings Sexy back, no need for swap.

    Re: Anyone want to do a front end swap?

    I am thinking that they may do a "Sport Package" and keep production going on door blades... maybe price will drop down to a reasonable level. the Culpra R Splitter is from a SEAT afterall, and its been a nice inexpensive mod for a lot of folks.

    The tail lights remind me of S5/R8 headlights and I think a trunk/tail light swap would still keep a very Audi look. Plus, there is also no plate recess in the trunk.

    Weird that it has door mounted mirrors, but that would provide an OEM source of block-off plates for anyone looking to do a mirror delete

    The wheels are most definitely 5x112 as there is no need for SEAT to change anything under the exterior metal.

    I actually hadn't even noticed that! I can't tell from the pics if the trunk will match up with the A4 bumper though. If it does, that would be an easy way to shave the rear plate. Somebody try it!
