RS4 Recaro Sport Bucket Seat Retrofit
illektronik:
I know I've seem some Recaro Sport Buckets fitted into some Golf MK5s, but I haven't ever seen a write up which covered the process.
Is there anyone here that's tackled it? I'm looking at a set of front seats from an RS4 B7 and wanted to know if...
1. They will directly bolt on?
I know the S3 sport seats fit (which are essentially the same), but will I need new rails from the S3 to replace the RS4 rails?
2. Wiring looms. Is there a DIY on how these can be adapted?
Any leads or other thread links with useful info would be great.
Thanks guys.

N8KOW is your man, just put them into his A3 sport back.
Very nice too by all accounts

If your car (GTI) wasn't delivered from the VW factory with the Recaro option, you'll see the airbag warning light on startup. It disappears after all the startup checks are completed - Nothing you can do about it, not even VCDS.
Do a Search for threads discussing it (one of mine IIRC).

....I've forgotten why off the top of my head, but using resistors is not a good idea. But perhaps you're talking about different resistors. It's all discussed in the thread you guys will be searching for.. Gotta dash..........
