I'd say eBay is the best place to get stuff like Interiors and you can sometimes get them for bargain money,they come and go so just keep an eye on it

I think they might all be heated, if not all most will be. However its not too much a job to make them heated.

I would hold out for the colour conecpt seats if you can.

I got my GTI color concept leather seats from eBay for about £230 delivered, but they are not heated. Looks sexy, though...Black and red :)

You can get heated leather from VR6, but that's installation hassle (unless you know how) and they are a bit more expensive. Around £300 probably.

I'm pretty sure Colour concept Recaros should be heated!! It may be that you don't have the wiring loom, relays and switch


Normal GTI style non heated leather seats go for £200-£300 depending on condition.
Recaro leather seats normally fetch a bit more, so between £250 and £400 depending on condition
Highline heated leather seats normally fetch £250-£400 depending on condition and whether the loom/switch/relays are included

I don't know why people like leather so much though, I had Highline leather in my car and I couldn't get on with it. I mean sure it was comfy, but I never felt safe going round corners, it felt like I was going to end up sliding onto the handbrake! I soon put the standard cloth VR6 seats in my car and fell back in love with my car again. If I change my seats ever again, I'm going for the cloth Recaros!

Im after a set of 5 door leathers for my wagon I did have leathers in my VR6 I also fitted the wiring loom for the heated seats to work by myself and it was really simple to do took me about an hour if that all just plugs in.Im pretty sure that all factory leather colour concept and highline are heated and as joe said the highline seats you do slide abit in em but the colour concet seats are a lot more bucketed thats what id like for me wagon...

colour concept seats are heated. more then likely you didnt get the heating wiring loom with them when you bought them!

my colour concept seats are the most comfy leather seats iv sat in  :wink:

VR6 leathers are normal gti seats arent they, but covered with leather?
