Looking for an S3 for a fun work commuter. I've seen a car locally that looks decent enough.

It looks completely standard, it's a 51 plate.

Only thing that seems strange is that it has Sparco racing seats in the front, the drivers match the rears (cream and black), the front passenger has cream black and blue?

Any ideas as to why someone would take the original seats out, or were these an optional extra?

Funny question so sorry in advance!
