if you find someone who sells to you that seats, you can mount them on your 8v, without problems!

sorry,ive got a16v, the seat is from a 16v, i was wondering if the 8v has this seat and if i could fit a 8v seat into a 16v? as it is probably more likely to find a 8v thats being split....

yeh they can come in an 8v, the higher spec model 8v's have em.I do, tee hee.

Though likesir says above, why get the seats when theres better? mk5 and late mk4 ones are rather dashing!!!
