a) that looks like a cr@p and very heavy seat
b) making a mount will be a PITA
c) your bodged together mount won't be crash-tested, unlike the ones in your boring old OEM seats.

i dont mean to sound rude but,
you obviously dont know to much about bride seats otherwise you would say it looks like a crap heavy seat,
and i have now found the rails to fit the golf

I don't mean to sound rude, but bucket seats don't have adjustable backs and nor do they have the appearance of an armchair.

That is a faux bucket seat.

I know Bride is much feted in Japanese car circles, but this is just a fancy road seat and it'll look a bit stoopid if it's one red seat in a different colour interior.
 
How much does it weigh?  It looks heavy.

From talking to the company I deal with for Carbon parts, I've now seen they do a full carbon Bride recliner seat. Now that must be light. Never heard of Bride before now.

Be interesting to see pics of the rails fitted on this seat mate.

That's because they're ricer-stylee.

Shell seats come in around 6-7kg.  I'd be surprised if the one in the picture above was anywhere near this.

I know it's a recliner, Len, but the title says 'bucket' because it's a 'bucket style' seat.  Bloody nonsense IMO.

right to clear a few things up
its is a reclining bucket seat,not a fixed one,i should of been a little more procise.
the seat has been made wit carbon fibre
and i do not know the weight of it,not that i really care how much it weighs...i bet a dam site less than the oem leather seats in the car,
