Yeah they are very comfy wasn't too sure about them at first (before I viewed the car) but when I did I fell in love with them! Bring on the winter, heat them up!

Title: Re: My Wagon - Recaro - New pics
Post by: welikeaps on September 08, 2012, 01:34:19 pm: Great car. Those seats alone were a £2k option from VW so you've done well to find a GTI with them.
Title: Re: My Wagon - Recaro - New pics
Post by: ReeceH13 on September 08, 2012, 01:39:31 pm: Thanks :happy2: Yeah I didn't give the seats any consideration only after I bought it. Snapped it up the day it went on Autotrader, every other GTI on there were selling fast so had to drive 2 hrs after work to put a deposit down :signLOL:

Post by: S800BRN on September 09, 2012, 11:10:16 am: Notice you've the same front badge as me, black rear badge too and raised plates and recaros!

Has anyone installed this (middle brake strip)? Any links with pics and is it easy to do? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vw-Golf-5-V-MK5-GTI-REAR-black-LED-3RD-THIRD-STOP-BRAKE-LIGHT-LAMP-/220990350195?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item33740d2373

Thanks mate, I don't have a brochure or options list. It was an ex showroom car so the guy I bought it off said that the dealers put a lot on it to impress people (how much of that is true I don't know but the spec is great) , I know it don't have the luxuary pack, cruise control, bluetooth and that's all I can think of...

Post by: Dave J on February 02, 2013, 05:47:49 pm: Lovely GTI you have there - have always loved the style of the Recaro's - wish the ED30 came with them!

Would you mind telling me where you got the Inpro smoked mirror repeaters from? Ordered a set from Venom, but they said they didn't know when / if they'd get more stock!

Thanks pal! Yeah if the Eddies came with them that would be ace!

EXACTLY the same thing happened to me with Venom! I placed an order with them, got an email back a few days later saying the InPro's were out of stock! Would have thought they would have updated the stock list! Sure, I got them from PSI Tuning.

I am afraid I paid slightly through the nose for them, plus delivery, they're rare as rocking horse doo doo now apparently! http://www.psituning.com/product.php/21136/smoked_mirror_indicator_lense_pair___golf_mk5_passat_b6

Post by: ReeceH13 on July 06, 2014, 09:30:06 am: Cheers guys,

& no, unfortunately the recaros went with the GTI...

Only a few plans/mini mods which I have done; raised numberplates, footrest plate, seat inserts, OEM blue stitched mats, led interior and numberplate lights. Next on the list are OEM led Rear lights. (If anyone selling please let me know) and an itg panel filter and possible exhaust.
