[s-cars] Manual seat parts for C4

[Robert Rossato]

Having seen the factory Recaro seats apart and mentally comparing them
to the Recaro race seat I have, the base cushion height is the same.
So, if you can sit in the stock seat with a helmet, then you should fit
fine with the recaro race bucket on the OEM seat base.

The 100/A6 seat base might be an option but I wasn't sure if it might
mount differently than the ones for the Recaros.  Haven't seen the
standard seats apart.
