half leather, tbh i prefer it to whole leather, as leather seems to sag alot in the middle with age, so end up looking scruffy....

Really comfy though and look like buckets, you can get them cheap on ebay, there are few people who have stuck them in a 6n2 that ive seen so its an easy swap

Ideally I'd like to replace my front ones with black leather heated Recaros from a Golf or something

the ibiza cupra half leathers are really comfy and pretty much a straight swap. i have had them in my car for about a year now!

the only minor snag is that the ibiza seats in the back are attached by a bracket and u just need to chop a bit off with a hack saw to remove the bracket for use in the polo.

apart from that they fit straight in!

mk4 golf seats will fit if you grind off a piece of the subframe....

ibiza seats are "ok" after owning a mk4 golf with leather and a polo gti with leather the ibiza seats are knowhere near as comfy as either

I fancy getting my seats retrimmed in half leather with the centres done in the interlagos cloth... it would look like the Golf GTI Edition30 seats! 8)

For just the seats (not doorcards), expect to pay £250-300. That set on eBay is way overpriced.

If the cupra seats didn't have 'cupra' word patterning down the middle i think i would've snapped up a set a long time ago!

yeah 250 to 300 is a good guide, mine were mint condition so paid a bit over 300.

the grey ones are th ones to get and tend to go for a bit more than the ones with the red and blue inserts

Have you ever fitted mk4 golf seats to a polo mate? Is it easy enough to mod the rails?
