As most of you know I bought these off a nice bloke in Wales and made the trip over there this evening. As dodgy as it sounds and most probably looked we made the trade in a pub carpark in Cardiff!! Hope you approve!!

Glad you got it sorted in the end mate, Looks fantastic!!!
Did you have to help him fit yours into his motor or did he have some spares?
Really did want them, but really did not want to get rid of my ED30 ones (which I have only had for 3 months) and part with £1000 too!

Cheers Al, nah I had to remove and fit both sets as he wasnt to sure about doing them. The Ed30 trim is a nice set to have and argueably as desireable. It was touch and go as to whether i would pull it off, he was being bombarded with offers even after he listed them as sold!!

Sorry darling!
They felt alot better than I thought to be honest, but my back is sore from about 6 hours of driving!!
-
I dont blame you for the 6 hour round trip with fitting included :laugh:. Its amazing how we all lust over a nice set of seats. You will be able to sit on them for a couple of years and still get your money back. :happy2:
-
spot on mate...You have to grad these seats when they pop up.. :congrats:
-
Thanks for all your comment guys, I love em and yeah your right TC, I can properly sit on my money now rather than giving it to tha banks!! :laugh:
-
Look great there Mark, by far my favourite seats i've seen for a long time. :drool: I'm not a fan of Leather and am a right sucker for the Interlagos Cloth. Very nice :happy2:
Matt
-
awesome seats mark love it. :happy2:
-
u lucky git! :P
they look awesome mate, congrats, :happy2:
-
Those seats look ace!
Although they look very 'OEM', im getting the impression you can just order them from the dealer?

You could during the 06-07 build years on the standard GTI, but they weren't a cheap option and by all accounts there weren't that many sold. :happy2:
-
Looking good Marky :happy2:
Quite a rare find that.
-
Im guessing these are the nice recaro seats that were on PH as i cant see the pics from work.
If they are, then its the same as i have in mine and they are awesome seats, they look very cool and are so snug for driving in, love them and by all accounts you got a real bargain too !!!!
-
wow :drool: :drool: :drool:
-
no complaining they give you a bad back :happy2:
-
Those are absolutely scorching Mark :drool:
I love my seats to bits (heated Interlagos cloth ones) and wouldn't change them, but if I did, would probably be to those ones as I don't like Leather.
-
Thankyou for restoring my mistake Mr Greenouse! :signLOL:

:fighting2:

They look the bollocks Mark..............jammy git! :drool: :drool:

Cheers Tom, I love em. I was very lucky to get them as it now transpires the guy selling them was playing games and taking money off people and then not giving it back!!!
-
Nice mate :happy2:
i am one of the only ones i think who dont want seats like this, i did, then i sat in some, now i dont :laugh:
-

....If you do trackdays the Schroth 4-point harnesses (from TTshop) work very well with them. I think TC has some too.

Is that right??? Glad I backed out when I did now, the guy sounded very legit on the phone, just goes to show you though.
Also, looking at the pics, the plastic rear part of the seats does not look properly attached, is that the normal, or is it just the photo's?

Yeah unfortunately someone from this very forum is out of pocket, I hope he is able to get his money back! :sad1:

....You're referring to the pic of mine. The upholstered side tends to come away every few months - It's a known fault. Just tuck it back in. Mine hasn't needed tucking for a long while now.
-
I am that very person out of pocket. £200.00 out of pocket. Went to see these a few hrs before mark did but didn't fancy them. Paid a deposit via bank transfer (looking back a dumb ass move I know but really thought I would want them) but cause of me meeting him on his lunch break I wasted his time so refused to return the deposit.
Ever dog has his day. Not bothered if it takes a wk or a yr I'll get the f*cker back! It's getting mugged off that's bothered me not the money. Looks like he needs it more than me the scruffy ****!!!
-
looking nice pal, is the grey lighter than on the rear seats and trim or is that just the pics ?

Kinda the point of a deposit is it not, i suppose it will depend on the circumstances under which you paid the deposit.
It really boils my p1ss when people mess me about on for sale stuff TBH, and its happens all the bl00dy time.......i had one guy after a set of seats who was on his way to collect them 5 times, the last time he had just left the house and was gonna be with me in 5 hrs, that was 6 months ago... hope hes ok :signLOL:

....Illustrating I suppose that there are always two sides to every story. I can see both sides, however..
The seller has been a real sh!t by keeping as much as £200. He should have contacted the buyer and suggested keeping say £50 to cover his inconvenience and returned the rest.
There is such a thing as behaving honourably and being a gentleman. Screwing people to the max deserves retribution and he will get his come uppance somewhere further down the line. If he tried that on me he'd get a visit, but not from me but someone he wasn't expecting. [/anger]
Marky, you'll soon forget the money you spent and you won't stop enjoying those Recaro's, especially when spirited driving.
-
I Got in my car 5 minutes after speaking to the bloke and drove over 200 miles to meet him. His version of "totally mint condition" is different to mine so I decided not to buy them. After a heated dicussion we made a gentlemens agreement that if he sold the seats over the weekend the money would be returned. He sold them hrs later obviously but still decided to fob me off.
I agree it it can be a pain when you're trying to sell something and you get pissed about but in this incident that's far from the case!

In my situation with the guy not turning up 5 times he could whistle for ever penny of his deposit, sadly in that situation i took guy for his word and didnt have a deposit or i would have got a great sense of satisfaction from telling him to p1ss off. Ive many examples of being messed around recently it seems to be getting worse if im honest.
I agree hibs u got a bum deal in this situation however, hope u get ur money, as much as its annoying £200 aint worth the grief put it down to a learning experience and move on mate.

If its a bank transfer then your only bet is the police, (I am having to go through this at the moment due to buying a £350 iPhone) Imagine my embarassment having to be over the other side of the help desk to report a crime.
Hope you get your cash back dude. £200 deposit should go back to you in fairness though as the item was not as described!
-
You're right mate it's a learning experience!
In a way I'm glad it happenend to me as I'm in a position to lose £200 pound and not be affected by it.
I'm also glad Mark bought these in the end too as he paid a despoit the day before me. Could have been him out of pocket!!

The worst aspect of such goings on is that Trust is seriously eroded and conditions behaviour in people to believe that no-one is to be trusted. Mistrust breeds mistrust.
All people actually have to do is be honest and open and communicate - Simples!
Anyway, nuff said - Let's enjoy Marky's joy in his new seats.
