My 2004 D3 didn't have them but I ordered 2 pairs for the rear seat from my local dealer and retrofitted them. The threaded bolt holes behind the bottom of the rear backrest were already there. You just need the isofix brackets and bolts. They weren't expensive and took 20mins to fit. Take care when removing the rear seat bench as there are cables underneath.

I removed the bench and had a better look.
Found them tight up to the backrest. Not bothered about the front but I will check Is there meant to be some guide it protective parts around them?

One option is to use these plastic "guides" that clip onto the isofix bar. They protect the upholstery from scratches and make it a little easier to find the isofix mounting points. They dont look the best though.
Part No. is 8L0019233. They came included with maxi-cosi isofix bases at one stage, I was amazed to see VAG logos and part numbers on them.

Not sure that will help protect or make the leather worse. I'm not keen on putting child seats in the back of my car cause of the issue with it killing the leather and heating elements. Could always get a broken set of seats and use them to protect mine.

To be fair, what is the point of having a car if you don't actually use it? I see mine as a tool, I like to keep it sharp and looking good but ultimately it is functional.
Child seats are a necessary part of that, yes they may cause some problems but without them I can't use the car - what is the alternate, but a worse car that I am not as worried about!? FWIW - I have used the clips when there is a need to install and remove frequently, but for a long term install I have carefully installed an ISOFIX base without them as it deforms the leather less.

I wouldn't bother with the plastic guides unless you are struggling to find the isofix points. The Child Seat base will make indentations in the leather if the child seats are fitted long term but they are a necessary evil.
A good quality child seat like a Recaro won't have any rough edges underneath. You can get protectors that fit like a rubber mat under the child seat but I've never used them personally.

Do you think putting a towel on the A8's seat and the baby seat on top is OK?
