Yea like they say, if they dont have the obvious recaro written on the back rest then they arnt recaro. I looked at lots of golfs b4 i got the gti t. i found that the ones with the vw leather were always less worn because the seats are slightly softer and the leather is kind of looser, the recaro ones are so much more comfortable and hold you in better but much harder seats with tighter leather which may be y the drivers right hand bolster tends to wear a little bit. i went for one with the cream heated leather recaro's in the end because it had only done 73,000miles and i could afford it, but even on that the drivers seat is quite worn. but in general they look so amazing and really comfy. cream ones show the dirt in the creases a bit tho but dont burn u as much in the summer.
