I can't remember who it is but some one has the red recaro fabric seats just wanted to know who it was so I can ask about fitting them, as I found some seats I like :-).

To fit the fronts would involve a bit chop and change of the frames. Wouldn't be too hard.

Mk4 front seats in a polo is not a pleasant experience. Lots of chopping and welding needed to get the subframes correct

My advice would be don't go there based on the work I had to put in on a mates! lol

Arghhhh I'm in two minds now... Endi what the condition of them ?. I really don't want a gti interior but it's looking like it could be like one of the only solutions :-(. As my seats are impossible to find !.

The condition is really good. Chris (Godderz23 had them before me and wet vac'ed them all up. The drivers seat has some slight wear but nothing major. Thats the reason I bought them off Chris because I would only buy the best for my GTI :wink: and I know he is the same 8)

But I understand what Alex is saying. It could be a bit of an effort, however would look sick with the red :wink:

let me know if you want some pics mate,

Matt

Pm received dude I defo want them
Endi just all pending on pics now mate but as your pm there's no rush when and as your ready mate,

Godders that was an excellent guide my girlfriends uncle is a welder so I'm going to ask him for a huge favour :mrgreen: I'd keep the rears I've got (red polo match ones) but if the look too odd then I'd look for matching rears but at least they'd be in some kind of matching pair :-D. If I do this which is most likely il put pics up to go with the step by step you have mate.

Ooooo I'm excited !.
