^^^ that's interesting, mine is a 2nd family car so I have to put car seats in and out the back so having insisted on 3 drs I might find it a real issue with the Recaro's then.............

Most definitely, I had to start putting my work laptop bag in the boot as it's too much of a pain trying to get it behind the seats in the morning!

You'd have to manually slide the seats forward to stand any chance of getting a child seat in there. But that's what more-doors are for. I dont need the rear seats but for skiing, MTBing, spending a lot of time outdoors, I need a 'useable' boot. And I cant drive my wife's TT as I'm male. And straight. And don't cut hair for a living. Oh and it's only a 4 pot so sounds crap!  :P

Blimey I just struggle to put my bag in with the standard seats........... Still all that said I'll still get them if I can find a set, they are too cool to not have even if they will make life difficult !  :grin:

I can't even be bothered to put my steering lock on as it's such a pain in the arse to put it behind the front recaro's.
Always worried about scratching the backs too. Though mine is a 5 door, gotta love it sometimes.

Been working on my mk2 a lot lately so the R has just been in daily service, but got some time on it recently to get the R Caliper clips fitted to the brakes the other weekend and the discs painted up properly and can't believe what a difference they make.








Also started assembling some Stereo Equipment for the R to get the sounds up to a decent level.
