-

I believe so.
It was hard to get in 2001/2002 when I had the interior done.
I couldn't get the bare cloth, so I had to buy 2 front seat backrest and 2 front seat base seat covers to get the material...and then we found out the Mk4 Recaros are wider than the Mk3 cloth, so I had to buy another 2 front seat base covers to get the correct width of cloth.
It took some time to get, back then.

They weren't Mk4 leather Recaros!
They were nearly new red/black cloth, heated, side airbag seats bought from MJ Interiors, that were trimmed by MJ in Anni cloth/leather.
He re-covered the front seats in new Anni cloth/leather, unstitched the Anni cloth on the rears, half covered the rear seats in leather and used the original cloth, fitted the rear headrests and modified the front runners to fit a Mk3.
The wiring is a mix of a Corrado VR6 heated seat loom (relays now live under the rear seat), a Mk3 heated seat switch and Mk4 seat elements, with the pins swapped to make it all work.

Jeez...it was 10 years ago...
I think I paid £1000 for the Mk4 Recaros
Another £400-500 for all the new Anni seat covers.
MJ Interiors was approx £1700 for all their work IIRC (including supplying/fitting the rear head rests)
The Corrado VR6 loom was robbed from the Corrado I was breaking...a new switch from VW and a few hours labour for a VW Tech mate to get the heating elements all working.
To be honest...I'd rather not add it all up.
It was a long time ago... :evil:
