50p, 2 dolly mixtures and a clown shoe... :happy2:
I did look at these...but no...the seat transfer seemed to rushed for my liking... :laugh:
-
I know someone who bought a full 3dr Recaro leather set for a substantial amount.....even though the seats were still covered in claret from a crash :scared:

This is again a typical example of supply and demand lads. They appear for sale very rarely and as such go for silly silly money :jumpmove:

Not that rare I know of a few sets going for 1k ish

Cor your nosey....... :P
Didn't buy them although did enquire about them, I would like some though for the R, other wise no plans for it.... :driver:
-
The deal has has gone to the wall, the buyer cannot do the deal until a week later, so they may be going back on the "bay"... :confused:
Why do people do this, bid on something and then mess the sellers about, we've has this twice on fleabay recently. One item we were selling we gave the other bidder a second chance offer...so he watched it and then didn't want it......MONG!!!
-
I would have bought these. But I have non tilting front seats, which would be no good for this seller as he has a three door.
Shame, because he lives fairly close to me.
The sports recaro seats is the only option I haven't got on my R32.
On the other hand I don't think the missus would be happy with me spending that much on a pair of seats just before Xmas.
They do finish the interior off nicely though!
-
i have these seats in my s3 and they are brilliant but would nt want them if i used the car as a daily drive !

....Mine are unique - They have the .:R logo on the headrests :P :happy2:
Getting rid of your stock seats as part of the deal is probably very convenient and saves all the hassle of selling them separately.

Come on lets just cut to the chase and get it over with. :grin:

I was just teasing Nathan. I purposely didn't post any pics of mine [but of course the thought did cross my mind].
:laugh:

Lol

I actually found the Standard seats to be more comfortable. On long journeys especially. They don't look as good though!
:happy2:

Isn't he in S Wales? Wonder where? Cuppa at mine if anyone is passing!

Are you saying because they can get uncomfortable? because if so i would agree. I have these in my Gti and sometimes they can leave me with lower back pain and i find i have to move around a fair bit. Luckily the drive isn't to far to work! but they do look awesome.

This is exactly the reason when I had a choice of GTI's when I brought by first Mk5 I chose the car without the Recarro's :smiley:
IMHO the standard seat are supportive enough for the times you get a bit more engaged with the car while being much more comfortable on longer journeys :driver:
-
I suffer with back problems too and after 2 x trips to the Ring with these seats I have felt no ill effects. Yes the standard seats are comfier but so is your armchair! :laugh:
I felt these seats hold me in better and inspire confidence when the mood suits. Yes they are a tad on the hard side but I don't mind................ :happy2:
And they look better! :P :grin:

It all just shows yet again that we each have our individual preferences and of course that the Recaro's won't suit everyone's body shapes and sizes, nor their condition if they have back problems etc.
Personally I find them extremely comfortable and supportive on long journeys. On track etc when also combined with the Schroth 4-point seatbelts, the Recaro's support even better.
The stock GTI seats are exceptionally good too.

jesus, long journeys and harnesses?
i think yours and my idea of a comfortable long journey is significantly different!
i dont think i can see myself on the M1 fully harnessed up!

My wording was ambiguous - I only wear the Schroth on track or special German one-way toll road.
-
well if you have an .:R32 interior to swap with him...a top whack £1000 cash though as well :surprised:
i dont care if its a sellers market, or how rare/cool they are, but they are only worth what someone is will to pay for them, and thats mental money
theres a reason they are still for sale :innocent:
...and not just because of the price :wink:
-

Why not may I ask?
cause i think they would be worn out at 20 k miles esp if used by guys who dont get in and out by lifting out !!
-
i think the seats are great , got great support and imo very comfortable and even in full leather you dont slip around at all , the oem gti seats are also very good but the oem s3 seats are imo quite poor

If a side does show signs of 'collapse' it's easy to get an upholsterer to rebuild just the foam inside that section. Mine is showing signs but it's still just as effective at holding me in and so I'm not too fussed.
-
i think if they are looked after they ll be ok but i would nt want my mrs using them every day !

Don't get me wrong, i will stick with the lower back pain all day long haha. I love the seats to bits, and they do support you very well, i just find that the lower portion of the seats isn't great. I love them as they do seem to be pretty rare. And besides it's not everytime i drive it, it could just be cause i've had a long hard day at work.
