Mine are for sale.  :smiley:

























Only Kiddin  :laugh:


I am afraid the are like rocking horse poop. It just feels like their is a lot of them about cause Robin posts his in almost every thread  :grin:  :wink:
Your best bet is to do it how Robin has and by the R32 model and get them re-trimmed.  :smiley:

Who's Robin.   :chicken:  :laugh:


They are an option from the factory, or should i say they were.
Have a look on a few of the recaro sites they do some that are similar, but you wont get the GTI logo, wont matter though once your driving.

   read this excellent review it also tells you who Robin is

....wigit told me that when he approached VWRacing at the Autosport Show and asked Mark if he knew RedRobin, the response was: "Who doesn't know RedRobin!?"

I occasionally get complete strangers coming up to me and saying: "Are you RedRobin?". It's extremely flattering but I'm still waiting for some hot Babe to ask instead of some hairy car freak!

....Yes but those are the standard range of Recaro seats available from several retailers.

The ones which TC and I have (and Greenouse), were specially made by Recaro for VAG to include as a factory option only.

So how do these seats.

http://www.sportseats4u.co.uk/recaro-seats-sport-topline-reclining-sport-seats-p-572.html


Slightly more pricer... ( when you've selecteed which car and trim as well )

work out differently to yours ?


They are still the same seats to yours, only yours are OEM Factory fitted.

Doesn't really make much difference to me :confused:

....No, they are NOT the same seats at all - Nothing like. Look at the pics. The only similarity is that they are made by Recaro.

I'm referring to the seats shown on the page you linked to. Your first post referred to Top Cat's Recaros, which are the same as mine except in leather.

No sweat if you don't mind differently styled front and back seats in a road car.

Closest you'll get on the open market is the Recaro CS the OEM seat is based on.

The seat base is completely different on the Golf, compared to the sidemount of the CS and you won't get the OEM cloth on it - but nice if you want the same style.
