Hi, does anyone know if seat ibiza abf recaro seats fit a mk2 or mk3 golf? My local breakers have a set which they are selling for £50.

as wayne said you need to cut the mk3 sub frames off your old seats and weld them to the new seats (no other seats fit the mk3 easy!)

You can do this to make any seats fit right? Just put mk3 sub frames on?

i think seat ibiza seats are a direct fit to the mk3 golf? pretty sure the biza is mk3 fitment rather than mk2 anyway. could be wrong tho, worst case as above bit of welding will see you right
