I have the recaro's in myGTI.





Nice - but do they restrict access to the rear seats?

Cheer.

Got Leather Recaros in my wife's R32.  For the GTI though, I think the Tartan Recaros look  :drool: :drool: :drool: and I reckon VW should have put them in the Edition 30.

Mine is the only Mk5 Gti I've ever seen with the Interlagos, not leather Recaros.

on the 3 door versions,...how do you move the seats forward? is it in these high backed holes to the right (or left) hand side of the head rests?

look cool...and would really boost the driving (around the twisties) experience me thinks...

Ive got them in the RS4 VERY similar to the R32 buckets... SOOOOOOO good to look at and SOOOOOOOOOO comfortable. BUT if youre a "big" lad you will struggle  :sad:

Yup, me too:




The bolsters wear like crazy though.

I think that depends on how 'disciplined' you are when getting in and out.  I have my seats on the lowest setting, and always try to 'hover' in sideways, then when I am fully over the seat, droping down into them.  My bolsters havn't got any wear.

Oh, some really cool coloursceme in an RS4:

The matt colour on the back of the RS4 is much better than that of the golf recaros imo. I would scratch the hell out of them as I have a habit of throwing stuff on the rear seats.
