lol how do you tell people they're wrong without saying "your wrong"? lol

all I know is that my mk3 has 25,000 miles. had one lady owner that sadly died and her husband kept the car until I bought it. totally original and untouched. you can even see nothing has even been unscrewed so leather was factory fitted and he even told me that's how they bought it back in 1997.
 they had the ac extra too  :smiley:

another way to tell is if the gear stick and handbrake handle is leather.

Could have easily been scavenged from a VR6 also.

Yes leather is a rare expensive option on the GTI, so more than likely been removed from a VR6 at a later date.

I'm not saying it wasn't taken from a vr6. I was just correct the people saying that black heated leather wasn't a option. It was a option for the gti. I have it and his also could be factory fitted and not from a vr6.
sorry if I didn't make my self clear.

if it was an original factory option then surely the part code will be on the white factory sticker that sits beneath the boot carpet or inside the front cover of the service booklet?

Leathers were a extra option

as were recaros

as were loads of other bits

too many folk are too quick to just agree with the first reply without even actually knowing, im with tweed on this. also take a lokk in the options leaflet/booklet  :wink:  i got one of those with mine and the original sales brochure for the GTI
