I think they are nice  :wink:

If thats what you want to spend your money then go for it! I would rather spend on preformance mods  :lipsrsealed:

Cheers Kenny, that's right .

Seen them in the flesh and I think they look great.

Horses for courses IMHO, I love them. At the end of the day you spend most of the time in the car, why not make it the best place to be.

Might look a bit weird with the cloth door cards though, that would be my only gripe.

To answer the original question. Yes
but the side airbag control units in the mk6 maybe an issue and need bypassing.
Also do they not have a big R symbal on the top of the front seats or was that just on early ones.
I nearly bought the buckets as an option when we got our mk5 GTI.

Thanks Snoopy, didn't think I was ever going to get an answer to the original question.

Cheers

Hi Sunday.
As Snoops says they will fit.
But why would you want to ruin the unique internal beauty of the GTi with a bit of used cow even if they be Recaros?
Get some Bi-Xenons, chip your car, get an Ed30 knob and you'll still end up with change.
On the other hand, yours will possibly be the only GTi with old second-hand R32 internals. Unique it will definitely be.
I think you should go for these chairs. :evil: :wink:

Keep an eye on mk5 forums as the recaro front chairs come up every so often. You could do what RedRobin did to his mk5 ones when he bought R32 versions and have them retrimmed to match the rears.
The recaros were not that expensive an option when new on the mk5 GTI (~£600 iirc) and were only offered for a short time but they fetch good money now. You can spec them for the mk6 R but there something stupid like £3k option but they come in leather or half leather/alcantara. Heres a link to a new R with some in to give people an idea of what they will look like in the mk6 http://www.rforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=617.0 and http://www.rforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=466.0 + http://www.rforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=602.0

Ment to post a link to robins thread. There is a few threads by him over there about the seats as well as on tyresmoke and a couple of other forums.
