Cheers ,'Tony' :happy2:

Meeting up with Jonny for seats next week at VWR. Tight cashflow this month means that I won't order the Interlagos covers for a couple of weeks so probably no pics until beginning of May.

I won't bother with heated seat elements - I don't like heated seats - I naturally have a warm bodyheat (and a cold heart?).

I'll offer in the .:R32 OC forum before fleaBay.

Can anyone tell whether the rear section of the seat is available seperately to order? (the shiney piece on the back that the kids will kick!  :confused:)

I'm pretty sure the 2 scratches in mine will come out m8. Then you could always get em vinyled  :confused:

Just as an added note. Does anyone ( Tony or Jonnyc ) know if my car will have the airbag part of the wiring loom under my seats / carpets? Also, I notice Nathan has the little electric adjuster on his seats too. Will I have the nessesary connections from the factory? I doubt the super efficient guys at VW would delete any wiring just because the car has Recaro's.  :confused:

The back is something like £400+ vat, there'll be other ways of sorting it than going to the expense of replacing it.

Wiring should all be there, it is for the heated seats etc.

Oh, and DAMN YOU Joe... Bournemouth is no Singapore!

....Yes but (as posted already) it's relatively expensive AND you'd have to dismantle a relatively complicated seat structure.

Vinyl seems the best and most economical solution. I might do mine matt black although most of my back seat passengers are 18/19yo teenage girls - Jailbait friends of my daughter.



I'll contact you, Nathan, as soon as I know more detail about coding out the airbag warnings for the Recaro Sports - I'm onto it now.

....The possibly critical question (I think) is whether your ORIGINAL chassis was supplied with or without the Recaro Sports. The wiring etc might be according to the ORIGINAL seats type and not necessarily standard/generic for all/both seat types.

I hope I'm wrong!
