cheers guys keep the comments comming :-D

@ tim haha, yes as soon as you get in they give you a bit of a shock!

my friend has a set of these in his barn that he wants £150 for

I'm so tempted, most comfortable seats I've ever sat in!

looks brilliant in leather, who did the re-trim?

they look so mint!!

how hard were they to make fit a mk3??

gotta say they look spot on. some seats just look too chunkie or funny shaped. suprised on how good the fronts look in leather 2b honest. ;)

i dint make the base's but tbh theres not much to it, long as u can use a welder... theres 4 holes on the base of the seat that bolt straight onto the fabricated base's (just box section welded together) they use the existing seat movement for the forwards n backwards bit and where that springy pin goes through at the front of the seat on the floor is what secures em along with the base sliding up the runners...piece off piss!

@john mk3, buy em dude! in a mk3 u can chuck it around and dont have to hold on the the side of you seat anymore!

very nice mate, id deffo look at changing the door cards for black ones if you can, the contrast is a bit much against those leathers

but they look daaaamn comfortable...

does the seat sit slightly higher than the standard seats or is it around the same height

yeh looking into that, and the carpet....tbh tho it doesn't bother me much

yeh unlike getting golf gti seats or whatever these sit at the same height the golf seats sit slightly higher, tho i could adjust it by sticking the odd bolt in on the subframe :-)

word up init! lol

actually forget getting new door cards, just get some vht vinyl dye and pikey spray those bastards black, it will look good and wont run!
