Leather can be had fairly cheaply but cloth recs are the best, and pricey

I swapped mine out for Anni Seats - had to do some mileage to get a decent set at a good price though!

Look better and much moor comfortable than standard

I have the mk3 gti edition recaros
Black with the thin red detail and gti edition written near headrest.
Fairly rare !
I can guarantee there's none out there in better condition!
I'd love to know how to post pics
But if you look at the sets on eBay mine are in 90% better knick.
No wear on bolsters and they've also held their colour.

I'm pretty negotiable on price let us know your rough budget.
P/x Swaps welcome

Red/black GTI editions are the most common colour :)  Try to get hold of yellow/black or green/black or blue/black

Have these in my attic among with two sets of Colour Concept recaros




You guys seem to use the word "rare" way to often :D

Yeah I have to agree. The gti edition seats seem to come up on ebay more frequently then the cloth recaro ones lately. Personally I think the cloth recaro ones look nicer :cool:

Personally i would say "Colour Concept recaros". However that is not an option if ther car dosent have AC.

I guess you guys refer to these with the "Cloth recaros"



Never tried them. I do know this though that the "Edition" seats are very hard, and not comfy at all.
