Title: MK4 Golf interior into MK2 GTI
Post by: muppet on 16 September 2008, 00:09: Hi guys..... this is my first post and any feedback would really really be appreciated.

im gona be buying a mk2 golf gti 16v nex month off a mate and its got the original rainbow interior... i wanted to know if the seats from a mk4 3 door would fit into the mk2 simply because im getting the seats as cheap as chips lol if not any suggestions of other cars that have half decent seats that could go into the mk2???

thanks guys
