Part Number for Optional Recaro Sports Seats Gti/R32

[White Rabbit]

Hey Guys, 

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

£1200 each last time someone looked

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

Thanks for that Steve,

So i'm guessing the seats don't complete then?

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

Thanks for that VC if you happen to find a set let me know much apprecited.  Have forgot to send you my pics loving your new signature might have to have same if that's cool.  When's the store opening?

i have daily ebay search updates! hasnt been a set for while, last ones went for £1250, ones before that £1100. there's currently a set of standard seats (non big bucket) and full interior leather for £750

stores coming soon, just waiting on the building work now to move everything into and then its off and rocking

My dealer quoted £3800 for all the parts involved with 2 seats with interlagos trim...

always going to be cheaper to fight on ebay for a set

Would love these seats for mine too.

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
