If you read his thread, he commented:

Also purchased a Clubsport donor seat & had custom lumbar supports to match it all inside, look very OEM.

Are those seat cushions official VW items please?

yep as jim showed on the quote, i managed to get a donor seat from Germany, wicked condition. Sent it to a local automotive interior company called B-Trim (Recaro Dealer) who worked their magic

Thanks, I was lazy and only looked at the pics

6 months too early for me or I'd be snapping this up... Perfect!

A nice looking CS, a rare car in Reflex silver, the colour suits the bodykit detail.

Jim, have you driven one?

It would be interesting to hear how it compares to your current car?

The CS has the old 6 speed DSG and obviously less "tech" than your 7.5.

Not as straightforward an upgrade as comparing a manual shift CS to a regular or PP GTi with the same G/box?

Wonder how it's come to have the MIB2.5 head unit in (seller describes it as Nav Pro but it isn't)?

No I haven’t driven, maybe I’d hate it 🤔

Really appeals though, especially the seats and the extra Oomph! And yes Reflex is very rare and does suit the CS so well.

I doubt you would hate the CS, I would expect the handling and performance to be an improvement, just depends on your priorities?

I would recommend the DCC with 19" Brescia wheels too.

The seats are nice to have and look the part. I am not sure they would be such a great improvement over the standard seats on track.

I have proper fixed back Recaros and factory fitted 6 point harnesses in a CS from another German manufacturer, they really make a difference to how the car drives and make the Golf CS seats seem luxurious!

Recaro and Schroth? Assume you have a brace or cage for anchor points? Interest as doing a custom build 911 Safari and always interested in hearing of seat experiences.

[clubsport]

Harnesses are mounted on Fia Matter welded in cage and a floor mounted anchor point that comes through the Recaro seat base.. It left Stuttgart that way without seatbelts fitted. Never an issue at Mot time as the car was homologated that way.
