I find them very comfy but there is a technique to get in them to avoid wear on the bolsters. cant comment on practicality as i have a 5 door

I have the leather ones in my 5 door and the feel is great, they are so comfortable.
Though I have seen first hand how hard it would be in.a 3 door to have a child seat in the back, the bolstering stops them from folding up too much really.

Don't ask him! He'll tell you £250!

I think a set went on here for £1300, they are rarer than the leather versions.

Sounds good but you are definitely going to fall in love with them :happy2:

For the seats on there own they tend to go for between £1200-£1600

If you do get them you have to keep them as it complements the Gti perfectly :smiley:

Its pretty obvious by the number of posts in this thread that Red robin must have got lucky at his local all you can eat for a fiver cafe. because he normally, by now has told us again about his pair, and posted all his links and pics of them.  :laugh:

The words 'cloth recaro' can usually hook a Robin from 100 miles away  :rolleye:
