Title: How rare are Recaro's in GTI
Post by: markt on June 21, 2014, 12:32:25 pm

As the title says is there any info on how rare these actually are from the factory. Ive seen a few in R32's but only a handful in the GTI's

Pretty scarce as they were initially a £2600 (leather)/£1600 (cloth) option when the car first came out.
On the final run of the mk5 gtis vw put leather in as standard, consequently the recaro option became much cheaper/affordable.
