mk5 gti seats
« on: 03 February 2011, 16:36 »
been looking at the mk2 more recently and thinking further along the project...

theres been a few sets of mk5 golf GTI interior seats come up on the bay and here and i tihnk they are comfortable as feck and look the nuts...

I no the front subframes would need tampering with but would the bench have any chance of fitting or would it need butchering to pieces ?? Also could heated seats be made to fit with a bit of splicing of wiring looms ??

Thanks

Dan

There was one in VW Driver mag a couple of months ago.

He had no rear seats though, but had a rear deck trimmed in original off the roll front seat fabric. I dare say you could have your rear bench trimmed to match.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

and a further suggestion could be a raddo bench in that material

Is the raddo one more buckety ?? as i like the buckety rear seats of the mk5 gti seats..

I wouldnt mind getting/borrowing a rear bench and seeing how far they are out.. Thing is are you going to get a good colour match if you use off the roll fabrics for the rear bench ??

Cheers guys..

yer theres a set of front and rears in classifieds for £400 odd..

Quite like a raddo rear but i have to source just a rear set.. and then source material and pay someone to cover them or i might have a go at it..

So say £300-400 for the mkV seats then 150-200 to get raddo covered and then its just the price of a raddo rear bench how much you recon ??
