acf8181 0 Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 well, depends on if you prefer colth or leather, and how much you wanna spend...should get standard vr6/gti cloth for £50-100,vr6 leather for £500-650,cloth recaros for under £350,and leather colour concept recaros will be up toward £1k.my opinion? cloth recaros. the normal sports seats (so vr6 leather and cloth) are really unsupportive in the shoulder area. really is uncomfy on a long journey (such as to the 'ring).heres mine, which i flukely got for £120...

MarkGolf 6 Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 I would have to say the Cloth Recaros are the best seats and I have the leather Recaros..Love my mates VR as the cloth recaros in it defo hold you in alot better...But you can't beat the look of the Leathers!TBH, stay away from any other Mk3 leather seat as I found the support to be poo....

chrisgbrindley 0 Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 They dont say recaro on the back like yours but seem to be the same style & shape.Just seems weird every interior I look at seems to wearing away in the bolster by the door. I think its becuase theres a bar there that rubs on the sponge & cloth which makes a hole.I know my cars two previous owners none of them are fat though although my missus borrows it sometimes ;-) Link to post Share on other sites
acf8181 0 Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 thought so, yours aren't recaros...they're just normal sports seats. Link to post Share on other sites

six appeal 53 Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Standard Highline leathers are quite good as long as they have had an easy life, or else they just sag and loose all there support!But Colour Concept Recaro's would be an improvement for me. Link to post Share on other sites
