Looking to change seats in my mk4. The seats in there has airbags in the seats on the outer side. Will the replacement seats..i presume.. have to have airbags in seat too? :smiley:
-

-

-
3 door and 5 door rear seats the same? In mk4
-

No.
3 door seats tilt; 5 door seats DO NOT :wink:
I fitted 3 door seats in my 5 door :smug:
-
Fook. Was offfered recaro rear bench out 5 door headrests everything for £30
-
Rhyso is on about the fronts mate the rears are the same so they will fit as far as im aware!
Only reason you cant fit 5 door fronts in a 3 door is because you wont be able to get in the back .. Well in a dignified manor :D
-
Oh k. But the 3door rear seats in my flip up etc the 5 door recaros guys offering doesnt have that pull strap at the bottom tho. Unles there ripped off. :lipsrsealed:
If they defo will fit ill grab them
-
Yeah i didnt read the bit about the rears :laugh:
You can buy the little pull tag from VW; about £3 :nerd: i replaced one of mine :wink:
-
:grin: sweet. So they will fit. Ill go get em on the weekend then :evil: just need front two recaro seats now :cool:
-

What i found mind was that my sport seats base had more support than the Recaro rear seat base so i left the base in and just changed the uprights
-
I may just do that..the front seats feel sh1t tho i must say. Rear looks nice and chunky like recaros but without the badge :sad:
-
Recaro's ate the thing I miss the most of the MK4 :sad:
Best seat ever IMO
-
Yup defo agree. I thought these non recaro look alikes are the same just without the recaro badge.
but the feel and the snug side bolsters aint there in the front seats so defo need get set in there. Suprised for a 4mo it has standard sport seats. Unles they where thrown in and original seats taken out in its lifetym
-
Ryt another quick q. :grin: can the front seats be split. Like the bottom part where your bum goes on and the bolster part ur back rests on? If so how? :nerd:
-
Lol Nav Not sure about that Just save up the coin and get mint leather recaros i got mine for under 300 mate well worth the note

black leather is easy to keep clean mate then add some heat your sorted :wink:
-
Was away to say Cloth is worse IMO i had cloth seats and i thought they were harder to keep clean than the leathers... I got myself the autogyln cleaner and Balm stuff and works a treat once a month
-
a 4mo doesnt feel right without leather :smiley:
-
You lot are bad influence :laugh: :grin: will get on the bay see what i can find :cool:
Would loved r32's but people want you to sell your mum for them prices :lipsrsealed:
-
Not for me I prefer the Recaros Have driven in a R32 down to Edinburgh and between that and a long drive in the recaros There is no comparison Recaros win hands down so much Comfier
-

pay the extra if your keeping the car an get recaros :wink:
-
Yh tru. Dont want to change again down the line. Yup looking to keep it for 2-3 years if al goes well :lipsrsealed:
-
Recaro's or go home
Leather isnt all that; worse if the tight fcukers didnt spec that they were heated :lipsrsealed: :whistle: :angry:
-
You could get a set of s3 recaros for mk4 leather money if you didn't want to go leather. I've been looking at a few sets recently and most seem to be electric and heated, I've been looking at the half leathers with the blue inserts and have seen a few around the 350 mark. I keep changing my mind though I think they might be a bit OTT so for now I'm going to stick with cloth recaro.
I'll agree that leather is easier to clean though my old car the seats always looked perfect, but my cloth recaro seats just collect dirt it seems. You definitely need recaro one way or the other.
-
Yh the blue insert s3 seats defo ott..saw some colour concept mk4 half leathers but there yellow. Rare as rocking horse poo but they dont look good lol plain black is the way to go. I would not mind red and black cloth mk4 recaros tho they look ayt :smiley:
Going to see leather non recaro set and clotch recaro set for 120. Edging towards the cloths :lipsrsealed: might just save up and wait for set leather recaros. Will see what happens in spur of the moment on the weekend :grin:
-
I'd go cloth recaro, then if at a later date you want the leathers you can always sell on your recaro's. You sometimes see people wanting to swap the leathers for cloth when they sell up so that's always an option at a later date!
