R32 red stitching on seats?
« on: 06 January 2009, 08:41 »
I am on the prowl for my perfect r32, whilst searching through autotrader I came across an r32 with standard leather seats and red piping...




Dealer said it was not an import but a uk car they had on demonstrator, has anyone seen these before?

Clues in the name of the site: GolfGTI.co.uk. :wink:

AFAIK, the R32 never came with red stitching/piping on the leather seats from the factory. So it must have been retro fitted.

Never believe anything a dealer tells you...

Ah....retrofitted eh? interesting cannot think why someone would go to such ridulous cost and bother........sadly the car is now sold anyway   :cry:  For the record it was nearly new 2008 circa 3k miles for £16995!

Yes, it was in Huddersfield VW  :smiley:

It is just the first time I have seen such a thing and, given that most of us Mk5 dubber lubbers seem to be interested in such oddities, R32 or GTI related I thought it worthy of a post.

The 2nd hand price of Mk5 R32s vary wildly depending on the spec. The ones with cloth seats are particularly hard to shift and retail up to £1K less than an identical spec with leather.

BTW the seats were leather....at least the sales bumpf said so... ok nuff said for now.  Thing I dont get though is why a dealership would actually retrofit red stitching to seats! That kind of thing is usually a personal preference of a new buyer,..then decides that they are bored and sells the car....this only had about 3000 miles on the clock....hmmm...

Mated30, you sat in the car? was it leather? did you ask the question about the stiching?

lol this conversation is really not leading anywhere, you can tell I am bored at work!  :laugh:

the car was being run by a mate of mine that works there and the car came from vw with cloth and they got it cheap in from vw so it was sat in the showroom for a while but to get sales up they stuck it on the road and had the leather done and the stiching done to match the car. it cost them a grand to have it done by a guy in doncaster and it looked fantastic and even had the seems done for the airbags to go off

Ahhh yes I think I have seen that one. Is it the one by the entrance??

Not sure why but the red just doesnt do it for me. Seen a very nice DBP one today but overpriced at 16k on a 56plate :huh:
