Title: Converting 5 door Seats to 3 door.
Post by: dazza on January 17, 2016, 06:23:11 pm
I'm always on the lookout for a set of leather or ed30 seats.

Seen these cheap.

Could i convert these to tilt and slide?

These are in good condition but much more expensive.

The reason they are cheap.

Seats are from an accident vehicle! Seat frame warped!

I sold a 3 dr edition 30 interior (seats & door cards) for £500 which is around 650euros a few months back. Didn't realise they were that expensive?

I kept looking at yours for £750 which is about €980. I would have taken them for £500.

Bet if you ask a few breakers yards, someone will sell them for that price.

They never did the ED30 in Spain. I think i would prefer the half leather due to the heat maybe it will stop the sweaty back.

Some  :booty: stuck these in.

Are you sure? Mine came from a Spanish VW where he stayed its first months after being made. My Car's Manual is in Spanish as well. It was built in Feb/2008 but it was only sold to his 1st owner in Mar/2009 in my country. :confused:

Not many were sold in Portugal (I think less than 10) but I'd guess Spain would have received at least 50.

Never seen an ED30 on the road or for sale in Spain. I asked the guys at a local GTI meet and they said they were never released in Spain. I have no idea.

Really weird. My car came from Spain so it was sent by VW originally to your country. :confused:

Here VW has a local representative, a company called SIVA. SIVA bought an Ed. 30 when they were released that was used to show the car to magazines and TV shows. It was sold less than 2 years ago to a young guy. I know of 2 others here as well, a Silver Reflex and a Tornado Red.

I'm new to the scene maybe they are here and just very rare.
