Will these fit a MK6?
« on: 10 November 2010, 21:09 »
Found these rare Recaro seats on eBAY but does anyone know if they fit straight into a MK6 or would they need a bit of modifying.

+1

Plus they look a little worn.

However looking at them gave me an idea. Imagine keeping the shell and the leather bolsters and putting the GTI tartan into the central seat sections (ed 30 style).

Then you would have some proper limited edition and sexy IMO seats.  :smiley:

Me, that's why I asked if that's ok with you.

I'd love some Recaro bucket seats in my GTI.

sorry for being a bit harsh but IMO no other seats are better than your original gti seats let alone some over priced used leather recaros.

very nice seats. these are offered as an option on the R... so imo wouldnt look out of place. MK5 GTI's with these seats have cost a premium over the std leather. :cool: :cool:

Sorry sundaydriver, but [imo] those seats are ugly and will not suit a MK6 GTI; why on earth would you want to ruin your GTI by putting them into it? Save your money and keep your car interior original.
