Title: Mk1 Cab Seats
Post by: andyb77 on 06 March 2006, 20:44

hi guys

pick up my first mk1 cab on saturday :grin: :grin: :grin: and wanna get the interior sorted out for summer (bodywork & mechanics all bang-on courtesy of prev. owner).  i defo want leather but not sure of my options. 

i know mk2 fronts will go in but the backs are a different story, yes?  what about audi tt seats?  anyone done this or know of a link for a "how-to" or is it not possible to do?  how much of a job is the mk2 rear bench (again a "how-to" would be good).

my other option is a re-trim - i'm guessing between £650 and £1300 depending what i have done and where i get it done?

finally the car is helios blue; any one got links to pics of tan leather in a car this colour?  wouldn't mind seeing what it looks like.

cheers fellas :smiley:

pretty much all you've said is right!! mk2 fronts easy, mk2 rears, not so easy!

a guy on here called blue has tt seats in his mk2 and he did them himself with a cheeky bit of welding. re-trim will cost what you think and helios blue/tan would look schweet! :P

thanks for the help chaps.

reckon i'm gonna go down the line of a re-trim, probably in tan, though not 100% yet.  seems a safer option fitting-wise plus i'll be able to get the colour i want (if i can ever make my mind up!)

i'll get some pics of the car up over the weekend, for your opinions!

cheers

not sure what i want for definate as yet tbh.  now i've looked about about i have seen a few with tan, so maybe it is too popular.......?

just didnt want black, cream would get too mucky?, so tan seemed the logical choice.

decisions, decisions........................ :undecided: :undecided: :undecided:

red, maybe?  oh god this too hard!!!!
