Joe's quoted me for re-trimming my MK2 with Interlagos. He reckons roughly a grand depending on the cost/availability of the fabric, which I didn't think was too bad?  :confused:

Recaro wont even give you info about these seats They just Said speak to VW when i asked, Fischermotorsports defo dont sell the interlagos anymore either, There was a set for sale recently i think the chap wanted 1250 per seat.  :chicken:
these dont look to bad for aftermarket, but there not recaro's.  :indifferent:

I do love the look of the Recaro buckets, but for some reason in the RS4 and the R32 the seat does not provide enough support and this leads to uncomfortable long journeys and during fast driving. Maybe its just me, but i fit in Porsche . BMw and other Recaros okay ( i am a fat git though ! ).

Also over time i've come to love the look of the Ed30 seats and normal GTi cloth seats ! retro yet classy. very cool too  8)
