Got My Recaro's Today! :0)
« on: April 15, 2009, 08:35:58 pm »
A big thanks to Mick (Mixit) for his outstanding hospitality today and I must say you live in a very beautifull part of the world and Im not jealous at all!  :wink:

Here's the first shot after we'd placed the first seat in to get an idea of the height! It may be a tad on the high side? Maybe Jonny can help me with some tips on how to get it a bit lower? I was thinking maybe a hacksaw?  :rolleye: :grin:



Maybe some issues with reaching the pedals? Robin I do hope you didn't have these problems!?!??!?!


I may even have them recovered in the grey Leather with red stitching? Your thoughts are appreciated!  :wink:

















Nah! Here are the bad boys themselves and I can honestly say after Mick and I's brisk blast  :wink: and my two hour drive home I am blown away by how different the car now feels thanks to the seats!  :wink:



Not the best pics in the world but Im saving that for when I have the 'work' I want doing on them finished!



I did enjoy the car without the rear bench for a few days, lots more noise and she felt lighter and more nimble!


Mr Mixit and Mr Greenouse in da ouse!


Thanks again Mick, a very enjoyable day (even if you did make me do all the work!  :laugh: )

ROFL at the garden chair.

Looks very nice mate, esp. with the interlagos cloth.

Don't think I'd wanna lose the heated seats + lumbar support though.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Cheers chaps  :happy2:

The lumbar is spot on for me and I have problems driving cars without a lumbar. As these are sports seats they have a decent lumbar built in! And as for the heated seats, you can keep them, they used to make me feel as though I wanted to go toilet!  :scared: Not good in the car!  :wink: Small sacrifices for great seats! IMHO of course!  :grin:

What are those nasty Grey things.....get them out and put that lovely Green one back in.  That is the daddies and surely the way forward for car seating!!!!  :laugh: :laugh:


Nicely vented across the back, no more sweaty backs...plus nice high seating position, you'll be able to see over 4x4 now... :signLOL:
Looks lovely actually mate, everytime I keep seeing them I want some myself.  :happy2:

Mr Nouse, are the Recaro's not heated then? :ashamed:
