Title: seats
Post by: stuupnorth on June 21, 2014, 11:15:25 am

Hi guys
I'm not sure if this has been asked before
but are the front seats in a gti and a gt the same other than the covers??
I only ask as my drivers seat side bolster is looking a bit 'iffy'
Cheers
Stu

No i dont think they are. The bolsters are more angular in a gti. GT seats are just normal ones with a leather cover i think

gti seats have a much more bucket seat type feel, bigger bolsters and like joedarka said, definately more angular
There are plenty of companies out there that do upholstery and i cant see it being too expensive to get it sorted
