EDITION 30 SEATS 3 DOOR FIT 5 DOOR?

[VidalsGTI]

Just joined, so new to this.
Picked up a Mark5 GTI today and also picked up Edition 30 Seats, mine is a 5 door standard GTI but the seats came from a 3 door Edition 30. Seller assures me they will fit but, my mechanic got back to me this evening and doesn't think it will. Another opinion seems to think to think it will. Kinda confused. Has any one ever fit 3 door seats into a 5 door? was it a straight swap? or mods had to be done? Please help… Thanks

Yes they will fit, I have 3 door rear bench in my 5 door right now.

The metal brackets on the bottom of the seat bench need bending slightly but nothing you can't do without hands.

See how many people you can confuse by trying to make them get in the back by folding the front seat forward... Should be a good game!

  Hahaha, I'd love to video people's confused reactions!

Get one of those seat mounted cameras that people use for track days and just point it facing the rear. Reckon we could be onto a good little vial video here.
