A hugely popular upgrade for many people, these seats are from the mk5 Golf R32. Some Golf GTIs did have these fitted from the factory but very rare to find them with the GTI logo.

These are a bolt in modification, requiring no alterations to either the seats of the floor plan of your mk5 Golf. These seats can be obtained from later model Golfs/Sciroccos too. Also, similar seats can be found in Ford Focus RS, Renualt Clio/Megan Cups and Vaxhaul Corsa VXR but will require modifications to fit into a VW Golf.

Word of wisdom, check the electrics in your own car first before buying these as you may require air bag blanking plugs to trick the ECU into thinking air bags are still in the seats as the plugs on these seats may differ from your car's original.

Another point, if you suffer back problems then might be best to avoid these seats as many people have mentioned (over the various forums) how these can cause further problems if you already suffer with back problems.
