[A4] Spark Control on 1.8T

[Brian J White]

Script has nothing to do with it...it's the shape of the seats.

The sport seats have large thigh bolsters and slightly larger side 
bolsters, neither of which the standard seats have.

Pictures tell a thousand words.  Here are cloth sport seats from a 2001 A4 1.8T

There are leather non-sport seats for comparison...also from a 2000 or 2001.
