Welcome to the forum but writing everything in CAPS is seen on the internet as SHOUTING! It's an unwritten rule not to shout at people unless you have good reason. [/lecture]  :happy2:

Why do you want to cover your Mk5 GTI seats? If Interlagos cloth then surely you don't want to hide it. If leather?

Why do you want to cover your Mk5 GTI seats?

Not to mention impeding the deployment of the seat air-bags!

You want your butt cheeks to be as close contact to your beloved GTi as possible.

If possible, drive around 'commando-style'.  :evilgrin: :driver:

Snap-on, the only one's I've found that offer a decent fit. Their not cheep, but as with most Snap-on items, you get what you pay for.

This is the one I have: http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?P65=&tool=all&item_ID=16280&group_ID=1086&store=uk&dir=catalog (http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?P65=&tool=all&item_ID=16280&group_ID=1086&store=uk&dir=catalog), Although I didn't pay that amount, we get a massive discount through work.

Ive got those seatcovers too, they are not the best fit over the bolsters, constant readjustment is required, TBH ive tryed a few and ive still not found a decent fitting one on the gti seat.
