Chuff is taller than me and alot bigger too, and I don't think he has a problem, although he does look a little bit like Noddy! :laugh:

Here he is at Bugjam 2009

You must be one seriously lanky c**t if you *really* don't fit in a Golf2 GTI stock seat.  Either that, or you've got seriously stumpy legs. 6' 3" doesn't sound right not to fit in.  Do you have really big hair or something?

With the Scirocco seats in my Golf they aren't on the lowest height setting and Chuff and I were tearing around Combe with helmets on without walloping them on the roof lining.

Your driver's seat DOES height adjust, doesn't it?
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Dude - how f**king tall are you?

I'm 6'3, which means that the top of my head keeps brushing the roof lining (thats with the seat as far down as it'll go)...is a bit annoying. Would be nicer if i was even just an inch lower.

(I guess i could always tilt my back rest further back but i dont find the lying back driving position very comfortable :))

Plus like the suggestion by veedubgti16v for getting the seat a little further back (cheers for that  :wink:), does always feel like one click further back would be better :)

Im 6 foot 6 and 19 stone - I just angle the rake of the seat back - job done!

I'm 6'3'' as well which is why I asked.  I don't have any bother, but if anyone wants to sit behind me they're in for an uncomfortable journey.
