Rear Headrests
« on: 23 December 2012, 22:23 »
So my Mk4 came without rear headrests, I see the holes are there but someone must have either forgotten them or not wanted them at some point. I like my cars complete so I wanna get hold of a pair of these.

I've seen these on eBay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271123712915?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

What i don't want to do is feck up and get head rests hat don't match.

My interior is mostly block cloth and then a bit of dark grey in the middles, It's a 2000 gt tdi if that helps?

Anyone know if the ones I've found are likely to be right?
Whether I can't really go wrong with a headrest so long as it's for a mk4 golf?
If that's a decent price for them?
If I've overseen anything ridiculous? (I totally understood everything mk2, but mk4... I need to build my knowledge base :D)

ah, nope, not recaro'sI don't think.

I have pretty standard seats from what I can tell.

There's holes for 2 head rests.

That's because only the GTI models and the Gt tdi115/130/150 had 3 head rests unless you spec'd recaro or leather.
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

I don't think it matters, I changed my front seats from "sports" to recaros. I decided to keep my standard sports headrests as they were in better condition and looked identical :wink:

Here's one, might be worth asking if he has a pair?

You need to look for charcoal headrests with the grey stitching on the sides

So are the rears the same as the fronts then?
