Cool, wasn't sure. I'll start looking down that route as well then! Cost isn't such a big deal, I personally think 'kick ass' seats are worth paying a bit extra for. Add a bit of value to the car too?

Were there any other colors produced other than grey/charcoal with red stripes? Were there half leather/full leather factory options?

Also how easy is it to wire them up?

Can't see the pics at work but if they're Blue/purple they're the rare but minging edition one seats.

They're half leather, cream bolsters & headrest with dark greyish sort of colour cloth with thin red stripes like the usual mk2 recaros have (possibly black not dark grey?)

 :huh:

Sounds like they've been recovered then!

Try looking for Rallye front recaros as they're very comfortable and supportive.

Dubsport has some in his golf if you look in the dub rides forum.

I did think that but the guy reckons they're 'factory spec' when I asked him.

They're out of a rallye but I don't know if they're rallye seats :shocked:

I'm confused!!!!

Edit: actually rallye seats have 'rallye' stiched on them? These have 'recaro' so i think as horney said they've been recovered or at least the bolsters have been I reckon

They are factory recaro's with the outer re-triummed in leather. dodgy colour combo if you ask me! the only factory half leather recaro's on mk2's were the rallye recaro's but they are proper money!

Yeh I'm not too sure about the colours either. Depends if I can get them cheap enough I guess. As the leather is cream I guess I could always get it dyed another colour?
