Part Number for Optional Recaro Sports Seats Gti/R32
« on: July 12, 2009, 10:04:04 am »
Hey Guys,  :smiley:

Looking at purchasing a set of the optional Recaro sport seats for my MK5 the ones that come in the MK5 R32's.  I know they are going to be expensive down at the local Stealer but does anyone happen to have the part number for them?  Much appreciated

There isn't a single part number for the seat as the same parts are shared across the GTI & R32 for both the cloth and leather versions.

Here's the ETKA diagram and parts list for the Recaro seats  :happy2:

nope you have to buy each seat as an assembly (a bag full of bits and a frame)

easy to fight on ebay with the long queue of others, they pop up every month or so for around £1200 for just the fronts

Love the Recaro seats, but I'll be going for a single bucket seat for race days and then sticking the ED30 seats back in when I'm done. 37.5kg is the weight for the stock seats, but I think the Recaro's are slightly lighter (but not a lot!)

1 Recaro bucket seat = 10kg. So that would be 65kg instant diet for track meets/Pod runs :evilgrin:
