Thanks mate, Really appreciate it

New 4 point harnesses. Bit pointless, but a bit of fun for now. Good for track days and does not chaff the seats to bits.

Taken out the rear seats as well for the time being. Not using them and they are really damp and some stitching needs attending to.

Sort of wish it was a 3 door now as i don't need the back doors. But i do like the look of the 5 door from the outside. Will see how i like it otherwise it will all go back to normal and the harnesses just used for special occasions



In the summer i am hoping to take the GTI to the nurburgring so they will come in handy then

They look awesome Matt! Really liking the OMP Harnesses too

The standard seats offer no grip and are not really designed for a performance car, I always find myself slipping out of the seat when taking corners so the buckets will come in handy, especially for track days.

Thanks Ben,

Really pleased with the seats, best thing i have bought for the car i think So supportive, however it does seem like you are sitting on the floor. The harnesses are nice but i feel like a bit of a t*t with them on lol, as everyone looks at you. Quite happy with the car at the moment. A few more things needed though

Wheel spacers, Exhaust and camber/tracking on the list to do

Im really liking this car its subtle, not in your face which means you have to look at it more my favourite bit is definatly the seats!!! how much did you get them for? i was looking to buy them and for a pair its like £900 :/

Thanks for the comment mate. Glad you like it

I got the seats with the runners, and a set of covers for £600 off ebay. However they are in nearly new condition Had to drive from Plymouth to Kent to get them though but i think it was worth it. They are the Recaro speed bucket seats and i currently have OMP 4M 4 point harnesses on them. I think new the whole lot would have set me back over £1000 Well worth it though. They are so supportive and comfy. They also look pretty sweet as well

Right, had another play with the ride height this weekend. Im a lot more happy with it now and hopefully i find it is at a practical height also. Few pictures to show you lot (Sorry for the dirt)



And here is the difference between the 1.0 and mine Bit of a poor picture. Will get a better one when they are properly side by side but you get the idea.

Aha you lucky man! I would really like some buckets in mine now because the leather is either too cold or too hot :/ and i had buckets in my old car which were soooo comfy!

Looking good man. I'd drop it a bit more if i was you mind.

You on swdubs yet?

Its a cool local site, I don't post a great deal on there but its very good for local meets and stuff.

Looks spot on at that height mate, i'm not a fan of slamming either tbh.
