Depends. Second hand around £1000. Something like £1100 each from VW though.

It was a £2000 option iirc

They were not even that great, yes beneficial cornering, but nothing special for long journeys. If you have a 3 door then dont bother!

My R32 ones

I had seats like that when i had my RS4, not that great. They wore badly on the side bolster, and wernt that great on long journeys. Wish i had the normal Recaros by the end.

Although they do look great

Agree, look at the two left bolsters, you can see the creases where the passenger one has been rubbed from people getting out. My one was obviously untouched.
