RS4 Recaro Sport Bucket Seat Retrofit
RedRobin:
^^^^
Yep, I reckon they are the same Recaro design but a different cover. The floor runners might be different but hopefully will be the same. If not, I expect something can be modded but def worth checking before buying.

The seats I'm referring to are these:
They're essentially the same as the R32 buckets, but with slightly different trim. I'm sure I've seen these particular seats retrofitted into a GTI. I'll have to take another look around.
I'll have a read of those thread provided (Thanks RR), but just had concerns about fitment as they're coming from an RS4 and not an S3.

Very nice seats indeed

....Yep, that pic is the Recaro's in the S3 and spec listed on the Recaro site seems different from the GTI's Recaro CCCLS, though only in things like heating.
Recaro don't list RS4 but do list a RS6 and RS5 seat - Again all very similar.

Btw, my Recaro's in my GTI came from a Mk5 R32 and bolted straight in (I reupholstered them in GTI Interlagos):
^ Important you make sure that any seats you buy include the safety belt stalk.
