Just to help you NOT to have them even more : -

Apparently if you have a 3-door car, it is absolute hell for anyone to get in and out of the back seats. You have a 3-door I think.

Its not the best but a child seat base helps loads, otherwise I would have to clamber in the back every time.  ISO is worth it afterall  :happy2:

Are you trying to justify swopping to Recaro Sports, neg!? :evilgrin:

A youngster will kick hell out of the backs of the Recaro Sports!

I can confirm only racing snakes need apply for entry into the rear of a recaro clad GTI   :chicken:

The seat slides as far as usual, but the tilt forward is approximately 4 inches  :grin:

....Now I know why my teenage daughter persuaded me to get a 5-door and merely grinned when I showed her a pic of the Recaro Sports.

They'd be great in a modded Rocco [calling wigit!!! calling wigit!!!]

Pat on the back for those putting the extra mile in to help fellow members.


....Yes, I think I said earlier - This community of enthusiasts has been invaluable at collectively helping. And even in handling his sale, Jonny has been exemplary in his help and caring - Too many people just take the money and run.

We all tend to help each other if/when we can and what goes around comes around and we all benefit - It's simply great and a real joy.

Yes, they certainly will look very sweet indeed....Sweet body-hugging eye-candy!



Ahem... Cough .... Lets not forget who's seats these are in the picture  :P

It can be a pain as they don't tip as far forward as the std seat. However if rear passengers are told to come out backwards, its not an issue at all.  :happy2:

Fun isn't it :happy2:

When I first woke up this morning before getting out of bed, the thought of those Recaro Sports came into my mind and I had to remind myself that I wasn't dreaming but it was real and soon happening.

I've just confirmed the sale of my stock GTI seats to a modded Mk5 Caddy van! - I'll get pics in due course.

When's your date with Nathan, or is it secret? :evilgrin:

:happy2:
