recaro CS with tartan!
« on: 14 December 2011, 19:46 »
look at these seats. wish they were an option on the GTI. i had these in my clio 197 and they're great. really light too.

only thing is they're really hurt your back after a couple of hours and the fabric bolsters wear out VERY quickly, they creak and moan (from the metal frame inside the back rest) after a few miles but i learned how to sort these issues eventually!

they look class with the GTI fabric though

Although they look the dogs danglies in the Jacara cloth in all honesty they don't look all that comfortable as there seems to be a lot less padding than on the normal GTI seats.

I have seen r32 with them fitted in leather before so maybe they were.

Buckets were an option, though they were versions of the CS. I had them in my R32. Only leather or normal cloth though were an option.
