Hopefully something like that :smiley: If that's the car I think it is it only has the plaid about 2/3 of the way of the base, I'm going to get the whole base done in it as the ED standard seats. Iv also got a stamp to emboss the GTI instead of stitching it. I'm going for as close as I can to if the recaro's were an option in the ED30's. I'm that anal I'm even going to have the plaid the right way up lol
TommyR:
Have you got a picture of what you hope the end product looks like then? I only ask because I asked about this a while back and got mixed opinions on whether or not they where an option... http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,80805.15.html
Either way I agree embossing the logo would look better than stitching :happy2:

The MK5 Golf was only available with 4 wing back recaro's. I'm very sure of this because I was selling them as new cars at the time. R32 cloth (like mine), GTI cloth - tartan rear panel and 2/3 base (not including bolsters obviously) R32 leather and GTI leather. The ED30 was only available with one interior.
The normal GTI cloth has the tartan 2/3 cover to the base of the seat where the ED30 has full base tartan.
Hopefully my seats will basically be the same as the picture in the link but slightly different. The tartan has been installed upside down in the link (I'm sad enough to notice thing like that!!) I'll have the letters embossed and full tartan base section. A Normal GTI cloth interior tartan isn't wide enough to allow the full length base on the recaro's- that's why I was keen to locate some material for it. I'm still waiting for the material but soon with any luck :laugh: When it's done I'll update my build thread
TommyR:
Thanks for clearing that up, I found another good example last night...
However being picky... the logo's wrong, tartan doesn't go all the way to the base and no red stitching but not a bad attempt by any means!
I look forward to see your finished article!

They look the nuts! Basically that's what I'm going for as an overall look but with my OCD additions :jumpmove:
