Title: Corrado front seats into mk2
Post by: dubvrs on 21 December 2004, 19:18

Can you fit corrado front seats into a mk 2 and how much work is involved as my brother got the original front seats when he got his corrado (as it has Merc Recaro's in) but they have no subframes.

The front's are a straight swap I think  :smiley:

I sat in 'slammed mk2's' mk2 with the corrado front seats. They made you sit really low.

I would probably swap the frames over from your existing seats to raise them a bit?

They are a bit lower but only a bit.

As Blue said,i have a corrado interior in mine,and you do sit low,but you can adjust the seats to sit higher

its still very low but after 2 weeks of driving at that high it actually feels more comfortable took some getting used to at first tho as the wheel seems too high but everything else is perfect .

You reckon they're only a bit lower!? My girlfriend can now hardly see over the dash  :grin:

You want the rear seat to match that one by any chance??

I was thinking of doing the rear seats, but there looks like a huge gap down the sides now. that's what put me off.

I did think about putting the rear seat in as well but every car i have seen it does not look like it fits properly.

Thinking of putting one of these rear seats in.
