What I know is they were phased out in 2001. Option after then.

All pre 2001 1.8T's had Recaros as standard and they were optional on 1.8 NA, the 2.sl0w and GT TDI's

after 2001 they became optional on all GT and GTI badged models.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

I've got leather recacos in mine and the driver side bolster is worn apart from that they are well comfy. The thing I want to no is are the foam bolsters still avalerble from Vw or recaro them selfs. Thanks ian
