Rs4 seats

Post by Jibbon »

Hey guys,
just wondering if it's possible to put rs4/r32 bucket seats into a 9n3. Seen them in a golf retrimmed in red leather In a magazine the other day and thought they looked awsome. I know it's possible to get Audi tt seats in so I thought it may be possible to get these in too! I've had a search but didn't find anything.
Thanks again

You will need to fabricate some new runners and check the width just to make sure they will fit

Thanks! But just to clarify, these are the kind I had in mind as I know they vary depending on model year :

Thats the golf i saw them in which is a 3 door,so im guessing theres a way around it (chewy's suggestion of custom runners?).
Either that or no one uses the rear seats :lol:

those are Recaro seats, also used in the R32.
they are made also in "interlagos GTI" trim.
they called Recaro hybrid shell. :wink:

How difficult would it be to get the interlagos fabric for a retrim?
I've heard it not cheap either!

Could as ways buy them from VW :evil:

Or From Recaro the CS model is very similar if not the same seat.

Both cost a a few pounds just depends how much you want them
