excellent mods mate :notworthy:

MateyGuv:
Just a little update on the seats.  With the help of many people - cheers guys  :drinking: - I have got the seat loom and heater elements sorted.  Got the chance to connect it all up and check it works - good news, it does  :smiley:
Just waiting for the plaid material from Germany now then the seats will be re covered to fit in with my Ed30 interior.  While the seats are getting done I think I'm going to get red stitching done on the door cards.  I used to have a Polo GTi 1.8T with leather and it had red stitching on the door cards and looked smart.  Not sure if it may be a bit overkill though  :confused:

Dave J:
Amazing work! I'd never even thought these seats aren't heated, just assumed they were! Did you have much hassle getting the plaid trim, as I had read it is stupidly rare?!
Look forward to seeing the finished interior! Regards the door cards, I'd say the red stitching would look great - real OEM+  :smiley:

MateyGuv:
The leather wingbacks are heated but the cloth ones may not be.  I got a result on these seats (trader thought they were after market and wanted original seats to get the best return on his investment  :grin:) The cloth ones are very rare to find, but my ones are from a 140k miler and the cloth has perished so not worth saving.
Did I have much hassle getting the plaid.......... over a year of searching and exhausted all avenues to locate some.  I'd given up finding any so was about to buy a complete GTi cloth interior for the plaid bits.  Passing comment to a trimmer I know and the next day he called me and had located some through his contacts.  I believe what I'v found is the last "new" unused 5 meters left.  The guy who had it knew exactly what it is and how rare it is so demanded silly money. Managed to get a bit off but he was only willing to sell all 5 meters.

TommyR:
I take it you are hoping for something like these? :party:
