Title: MK7.5 specs
Post by: ams_sxi on 03 April 2017, 15:18

Just speccing up a GTD and noticed they do Black Art Velours leather look for £750 rather than vienna leather which is £1750.

Any views on the velour leather. Tried to google it but not much info. Don't fancy paying £1750 for leather and the standard GTD interior does not look good!

Oi! I like the seats in my GTD (http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/fighting/fighting0030.gif)

Have you seen them in the flesh?

I didn't like photos of the red tartan GTI seats, but having seen them I actually like them.

Having said that, I'm tempted by the Art seats aswell. They look fantastic in the photos :huh:

Here they are in a GTI so just imagine the red detailing is black 🙂

I quite like them but I would like them more if both sides of the bolsters were faux leather, i.e. proper half leather seats.

I prefer them to the standard tartan seats but the tartan seats do look better in person. I'd go for them myself but if I had the choice I'd probably get a clubsport instead of a gti.

The ones in the vw configurator show the bolsters sides as leather. The youtube video looks like its all cloth?

Thanks for posting this, they look great - exactly what I was after. I get the history but the tartan cloth seats just don't do it for me.
