Before my VeeDub phase I have to confess to being a long time Ford fan boy  :evil: and had numerous 3.0/2.8 Capris, XRs and RS motors with recaro seats, either as original or retofits even one with leather recaros.

I've had a few Golfs as well over the years and three of them had leather, sure not much good in winter and leg burners in summer but a nice leather interior especially a black one looks good in a Mk2 and they can be reconnonlised to look fine. It's like the grill, I want leather so not being put off that easily  :laugh: :laugh:

Maybe I should have said before but this isn't my first Golf, I've had a few before, two Mk1 Gti's one of them with a cammed 16v motor, a CC Vert, four Mk2's the last one a 90's spec and fully leather up and a couple of Mk2 Jettas, one of those a 16v.  :smiley:

The thing with the Mk2 Golf seats is, I don't find them comfortably enough to warrant having leather to sink into. Its not that sort of car.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

I didn't find the leather seats to bad, I've been in more uncomfortable cars, been in better but they were ok. In my last Mk2 I drove it all over Europe including in an attempt to catch a Ferry a just about flat out run from the outskirts of Prague to the Europort at Rotterdam, just short of 600 miles, and only stopped once to fill up and replenish the stock of Red Bull  :grin:

I Respect your choice.... But as someone who has owned a few "Super Cars" RS6, S4 Cab, Focus RS, S2 Etc etc... and being of a "Similar Age" (-15 years)

There are 3 sets of seats that stand out for me...

#1 RS6 Recaros in cream/Silver leather with Black piping.... So MEGA comfortable - but it had climate control & Heated....

(Drum Roll......)
#2 Has To Be the Edition 1 Recaro's in the MK2 - Like the RS6 So Comfy but no climate and no need for heated & they fit like a glove... Best £1K I ever spent on seats...

#3 Focus RS....

Worst - MK2 Golf Driver & Audi S2's (fecking side bar digs into your thigh and hurts like feck.... Bought RS2 Recaros but never fitted them).....

Ok enough of that and sort of back to the topic.  :grin:

Are there any other interiors fit a MK2, a bloke at work mentioned that he thought a Corrado interior fitted ? and what about a MK3 3 door as there are plenty of those around with leather, I could probably buy a whole car for the price of the interior posted earlier.

I believe corrado interior fitting is a piece of p155 (minus the dash). could be a cheaper option if you can find one you like.  :cool:
