See if you can find a decent passenger seat out of a 5 door, and then do some seat surgery. Your chances of finding a decent driver's seat in that trim are pretty remote.

Top tip.  :cool:

I had never thought of needing a 5 door one so as not to have the tilt handle in the wrong place.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.
