does anyone know why some mk4 gti s have recaro seats and others dont is it an edition or something? cheers.
-
I'm guessing it all about the addons the original buyer wanted... Cant have been a cheap additional extra.
-
Think they were standard in the earlier ones but an optional extra after 2001
-
cheers for the reply guys iv got them in mine and havnt seen that many others with them.

VW got cheap,simple as that.

unless you can get rearcos that dont have rearco written on them? :shocked: sure the ones i have are just normal GTI seats though
-
na you have sports seats same as me...
-
I got the same blue and black sports seats.comfy tho
-
when i went to look a gti's the turbo one had same seats as the one i bought non turbo but with recaro embroided in them no difference other than that, same colour and design.
-
What I know is they were phased out in 2001. Option after then.
Recaro sports front seats Standard Apr 1999 Mar 2001
Got mine for £100 in blue with no rips.
-
All pre 2001 1.8T's had Recaros as standard and they were optional on 1.8 NA, the 2.sl0w and GT TDI's
after 2001 they became optional on all GT and GTI badged models.

I have only just got them and love them!

Think they're the same
The heating element is a pad which sits between the base and the cloth / leather IIRC

if recaros were standard then why were some fitted with the blue sports seats?
i know the leather recaros like in mine were fitted to the gti exclusive spec.

Only until MY02 then sports seats became standard fitment :sad:
Fitting Recaro's was one of the best mods I did to the Goof and I do miss them :sad: Don't miss the rest of the car though :grin: :grin:
