Anyone got the Shell backed Recaros?

[Emeye]

Only ever seen these on one car years ago - anyone got them - any pics please? :)

[markymark]

There are about half a dozen cars on here I think that have them. I used to have a set but sold them recently, you have just missed this set too by about a week! http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,21757.0.html

Yes, I have - And they ain't for sale!!    [unless you buy my whole car for the price of a new Audi RS3]

I got them too recently, I'm part of an exclusive club...for once.

Brilliant seats, I had them in my Mk5 R32.  Miss them.

....Even more exclusive! You and I are the only two guys with a .:R emblem on our GTI's Recaros  

Furthermore, you're the only leather boy, and I'm the only cloth boy. I'm always touching cloth

PRoper GTi recaro's here too

[BenR]

I have them too....half leather half alcantara, soon to be joining Al with full leather if I keep the car!

Mine also have the R logo in a GTI

Exact opposite, i really dont miss them. Explaining how people have to get in and out, worrying about the wear and climbing in and out yourself got on my nerves. My standard S3 seats are miles more comfy as well.

To each their own though 

I do want these though when i get an RS3

How is the best way to get in and out of them actually? My wife has childbearing hips and hates getting in, though does love it once sat there.

....One leg in first.. Foot flatly and well planted.. Lift bum over so it lowers into the seat from above, hence minimum contact with side bolster.

It helps if the one with child-bearing hips has long legs. Do you have long legs?

It's all about the pole positions

....I'd love a RS3 too but I'm disappointed they don't have a alacantara cushion option like on the bigger Audi's.

....Did someone mention pole dancing?    



^ She can straddle my bolster anyday

....I much prefer alcantara (or cloth) to leather seats.

Have you got pics of your alcantara .:R Recaros?
