I wouldnt think it was straight forward, the frames/runners will be completely different. I wont be impossible. You will probably have to knock something up for the seat to fit too.

If you fit bucket seats do you have to put in 5 point harnesses, or can the original seatbelts work ok and not look stupid?

Well theres all sorts, i know the mk3 colour concept has leather recaro's. Im not sure if any other mk3's have them though?

Again.. If you go for mk4 seats etc then you will need to start f'in around with the subframe to make them fit. Try and get hold of i nice set of mk3 seats from a gti/colour concept/anniversary/vr6, or something along those lines will look much better IMO.
