Title: New drivers seat from VW?
Post by: Mk5 GTian on November 30, 2011, 09:55:53 pm

I've got the standard saggy bolster/thinning cloth on the driver's seat, same as I've had in all my Golfs, apart from my V6 4Motion, which was leather.

Has anyone ever just  got a quote for, and/or bought a new, standard driver's seat from VW, instead of mucking around with cutting pieces out, new foam bolsters etc?

If so, how much was it? It's a 2006 GTi with cloth.

It's the next thing on my list before I can crack on with Stage 1.

Cheers,

Ian

From VW would be hundreds if not more !!!!!! :scared:. Breakers or just the foam & new covers would be my choice. :smiley:

Great, thanks for that, how much and was that from VW?

If 190 is for just one of the two covers, imagine how much the whole seat would be!  :sick:

193 inc. for the back rest cover
68 inc. for bolster foam
72 inc. for the bottom cushion

I was quoted 100 pounds to fit it all from Bells Accident Repair Centre in Guildford.

I rang Colbournes VW in Guildford, and you can't actually buy a complete seat, just the bits, so based on these prices, I reckon it would be close to a grand for the lot!  :stupid:
