Imho they are a bit overkill if you see what i mean? A bit big, but ETTO, if you like em sunday then buy em mate! :smiley:

All that high backed black leather. Ooooh! Very CEO office. Quite claustrophobic IMO especially for an old dear like me. Hope he has them heated. A massage function would also be a boon! :wink:

I don't rate leather in a Golf GTi as I feel that the Jacara interior is unusually and extraordinarily beautiful. I was going to order leather but felt it made the interior look dark and ordinary. The leather was also awful.
Every car magazine feels very positive about the Jacara cloth, preferring it to leather.

Sunday, if you want leather then get it. The price is very good for leather Recaros.
I'm called the Blingmeister by 'small (gear) knob Ess_Three' due to 5 Aluminium pedals and a substantial and beautiful Ed30 knob. Am I bothered? :grin:

Don't get me wrong, the seats themselves are awesome! But i just think the size and shape are more Audi A4/A6. Just my 2p. Would be interesting to see a pair in a GTI with the middle part trimmed with jacara cloth though. I'm sold, DO IT SUNDAY!!!! :evil:

They are  nice seats but the standard seats are plenty good enough and I love the retro check pattern on the GTI cloth trim.  If you like them that much go for them.  Just bear in mend if you do use rear seats a lot of the space in the rear will be taken up due to the shape of these.

Hi Sunday. Don't know your name or where Smogland is? Why so secretive?

Anyway, if you can get those Recaros in leather at a good price and if the leather on them is still tight and not shiny, you should seriously consider it.

But just to be a devils advocate, you can have your whole interior leathered (including your headling, door cards, centre armrest etc) in the colour of your choice for £1400. The leather will also be of a better quality than the VW one.

This would be even more preferable IMO for both comfort and looks. :smiley:
