I'm sure I'd seen you'd posted in a thread on the uk-mkiv site regarding a guy who had got a leather recaro interior cheaply and you were asking if he could help you... Did he? :)

Post by: GaryM on 14 March 2004, 09:21: Yes, Stewart it was, thats who I bought it off as he has a 3 door and didn't want to go to the hassle of removing the leather covers to put on his cloth recaros as he would of had to cut a hole out for the extra handle on the side that the 3 door front seats have. His misfortune was my good fortune!

Post by: antgti on 15 March 2004, 23:35: Yeah i like them, i like them alot!!!!

My mate has got that interior in his 1.8T, but his is the cream version but it is a nicefinish.

Have you found that because they are quite chunky seats that you have lost a bit of rear legroom compared to standard.

Also were the heated seats hard to wire in or did you already have them?

PS can't see if you've got one or not, but you just need the W8 interior light to finish off the interior, then you'll be able to see your swanky new interior at night.

Looks nice though

Post by: antgti on 16 March 2004, 14:45: If anyones interested there is a handy fitting guide in March's edition of Volkswagen Driver which shows you how to fit and wire the W8 light, and part numbers and costs,

I bet most dealers will be sold out of them now, reminds me of when the ford puma came out and all the fiesta boys bought up the solid aluminium puma Gear knobs, are the good old days.

LOL, yes I do have the W8 light!
I would love an R32 steering wheel and Bora vents though funds are disappearing very fast!
I not sure on the leg room Ant, though thinking about it the seats must take a little more room as they are pretty chunky. Heated switches were already in place, I changed from the VW sports leather.
