Yeah I've been messing with it,  I'm now thinking off pumping the seat up so I'm more up right.

Ill get the just bait wired lol, the seats really do hug.

Made a start on the calipers,

The previous owner had split them, I just needed to remove the layers of paint on there. Red yellow and blue lol

So I chemically stripped them and gave them a coat of primer, ready for red tomorrow.

No during pics for fear of melting my phone,

On another note, the seats are still a bit problematic with my back, which I really cannot understand I've drove hundreds of different cars and never had this

Jake

These will look quality when done, you going for Red or something different?

[cuprajake]

Yeah just red to match the rears :)

[cuprajake]

Going to fit them on sat. Still playing with the seat...if this car continues to give me a bad back it will be for sale very shortly!!!! These are one of the tightest fitting seats I've ever sat in :(

Until you sit in my focus st recaros that is, I had to walk home from the dentist this afternoon I've got acute sciatica and it's very painful I'm sure the guys who have had it will know, I couldn't sit in the seat and rather than be in pain I walked

Very nice eddy Jake looks the business

[cuprajake]

Yeah we've had a few st/rs in tbh I really don't know what's causing it. I've pumped the seat up so my body is more lengthened. I keep getting an aching almost behind my lungs, I'm constantly resetting it lol

It's a stunning. Car, so would be a shame to have to sell it over something so trivial, but lets face it if you can't sit in it then its of no use.

I was thinking the same thing with mine mate, my wife is driving at the moment, but she's not right bothered regards the actual car as long as it gets from a-b and back without breaking down.

I need to sit in a golf R or ed35 seat so I can decide if I'm going to come back to the VW fold or not?

put a cushion in

Wash your mouth out.

With my job I get to drive lots of cars, and only a few have troubled me. It stems from playing ice/inline hockey, bad knees bad back etc but I agree, if the cars not comfy they it ruins the experience.

The leon seats were ok, subaru seats are lovely.

[Andy]

always find the scooby seats uncomfy except the new sti now that is a nice all round car

[cuprajake]

The seats really change over the years in the scoobs, from the 2002 which really hug, they get wider, then the hawk seats are like normal seats. The new car is almost vag looking inside

[cuprajake]

brakes are ready to install sat.
