New seats dropped in

they were advertised as being Golf GTI buckets, but have been told that they could be more "special" i.e. Golf rally or special edition corrado seats!??!?!?

can anyone confirm or deny this?

hmm. think rallye had either recaro or rallye stitched into them depending on which country they were from. have you stripped the rear? :?

Ok little update

bought some MK2 Golf gti steels from newcastle and this is the rear with luggage (stayed for the weekend) + 5 steels and tires!

DSC00779.jpg

So i've removed the alloys and put the steels on, completely changes the look and slightly smaller tires makes it look higher! its getting dropped 40mm this week!
