Fit your own bucket seats to a TCR?

VW didn't make those, someone else did. I am sure someone else more knowledgable than me will be along to tell you exactly who made them.

Might even be able to buy them as VW spares if you are insistant on having OEM part numbers on everything.

If it’s the ED40 GTI Clubsport bucket seats, I don’t know who made them, but they were eye-wateringly expensive :shocked:.

TWELVE AND A HALF GRAND!!???

Just the thought of that has this Yorkshireman having a seizure in his wallet.

Mrs Groves would be told to go forth and multiply if she wanted to spend that much on a sofa, let alone two seats in a Golf!

 :grin: That made me laugh out loud Fred. Yes, £12.5k is a bit pricey for a couple of car seats. Plus, if you fitted these in a TCR you’d need to tell your insurance company who might also increase your insurance premium!

So really then, the £29k ED40 is a bargain...

They were made by recaro...  https://www.recaro-automotive.com/en/oem/vw/vw-golf-vii-clubsport-s.  A Recaro Sportster CS with a bit of GTI tartan retrim would do much the same job at around 1k a pop.

Could be worse...  https://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/news/10703514/The-Audi-seats-being-stolen-to-order.html

I’ve seen a few car being written off due to having the front seats stolen due to cost of replacements
