Hey guys, im thinking about giving my car a lovely set of Leather Recaros. (Blame GTI_James)  :grin:
Not going to be for a few months yet as I have other things to pay for namely being my respray, wheel refurb & holidays.

But I Have so far seen them in black, cream, and grey my car is reflex silver and I wanted to know what colours did these seats come in? also Pictures would be lovely guys so i can get an idea of how they look.

I did see someone had theres redone in a wine red and I must say I was taken back by them.

Also How much of a pain isit to wire in the heated loom?  :undecided:

I would have been taken back too  :sick:
Don't get me wrong a white car, convertible will just about pull this look off, anything else would look grim

I got my cream ones for £200 for the whole lot (heated) so I couldnt really say no....got the arm rest top from china ebay, the handrake cream cover from a forum member for free (thank you), cream gear gaiter from a beetle and the handles from a scappy. I should do the door cards but cant be bothered just ordered up some black mats with cream piping with should bring it together even more. Better then the 1.4 seats I had at any rate!

p.s: The loom is a piece of p!ss, just plug, run though middle to the switches, plug in, costs like £45 from Kufatec I think for the loom, I need to buy some, would be interested in a group buy if theres a few people on it?
