Cobra Nogaro Diagram
Audi RS3 Fitting Kit Diagram
Please note the height of the seat shown is from the ground to the highest point of the seat, when the seat base is flat on the ground as shown in the diagram. All measurements are in millimetres.
This package has been specifically tried and tested for the Audi RS3 Mk2 (8P) (2003-2013). Significant research and development has been put into creating a bespoke fitting kit for this vehicle, so you can be guaranteed that the seats fit perfectly and safely in your RS3. It's almost as if these luxury sports seats were fitted in the Audi factory as standard.
Please note standard specification Nogaro seats come with light grey stitching and embroidery as shown in the close up photo above.
This new, aggressively styled seat features a similar profile to Cobra's technically advanced race seats but minimises the compromises normally associated when fitting race seats to a regularly used road car. The side and shoulder bolsters offer great levels of body support but allow easy entry and exit and the base profile allows the seat to be mounted very low in the car if that is your favoured driving position.
Designed to be used with a standard lap and diagonal seatbelt without modifications but also available with harness slots for a 4 or 6 point harness if you venture out onto track at the weekend (select the Nogaro Circuit to view this version).
The Nogaro is available in two shell materials, GRP and Carbon in a wide range of fabrics, colours and custom trim options.
The Nogaro has been designed from a clean sheet of paper to appeal to owners of a wide variety of sports, classic and GT cars. Although it is built to Cobra's exacting motorsport standards, this is a seat that is designed to be as much at home on the school run as it is on the Nordschleife. Despite being very supportive, the design has also been carefully balanced to ensure long distance touring comfort and easy entry and exit.
To this end, the seat shell has been carefully sculpted to hold the shoulders and hips, but with lower profile side bolsters on the base to allow quick and easy entry.

This can normally be fixed using resistors, although it may be necessary to have some warning lights professionally "coded-out".
Options
Harness Slots
Cobra Nogaro Circuit with harness slots
Cobra Nogaro Street with no harness slots
The Cobra Nogaro seat is available either with harness slots (Circuit version), or without (Street version).
Shell Construction
Nogaro seats are available with several different shell options. The standard shell is constructed of GRP (fibreglass) with a polished finish. This can be upgraded so that it is painted in a colour of your choice - we will contact you to confirm exactly which colour you would like.
Wet Lay Carbon is another popular option. This applies a layer of carbon fibre to the fibreglass shell, to give you the authentic carbon fibre look without the expense.
Finally, a Full Polished Carbon Fibre shell is available. These look fantastic, and provide a considerable weight saving of approximately 5kg per seat.
Eyelets
Optionally eyelets can be added to the centre panels of the seat, in the style of the Ford GT40's seats. They require the use of a ladderback (i.e. horizontal) stitching pattern. These are available in Anthracite and Silver, and can be selected using the dropdown box above.

Ladderback stitching is available as an alternative stitching pattern on the backrest for the Cobra Nogaro. This is required when choosing the eyelets option.
Embossed Logo

Embossed logo on nappa leather
An embossed logo is available as an optional extra, replacing the standard embroidered Cobra logo. This is a more subtle option, pressed into the material with a custom made stamp. This option is only available on leathers.

Seat heater wiring diagram
As an optional extra, seat heaters can be installed. They are pre-fitted in the seat, and come with everything you need to install them in your vehicle - wiring, a relay, switch, and drilling template. Installation is easy, and just involves connecting to a 12V supply and finding a location to mount the switch (the example image above shows the switch mounted in original equipment interior plastic). An instruction manual is provided and can be viewed online here. Please note that it is not designed to integrate with the original equipment wiring.
This Cobra Nogaro Seat Package can be fitted by a competent enthusiast or at a professional workshop.
