Less Bucket Seats
« on: October 27, 2014, 05:41:06 pm »
Hi all
Oddly, I need to un-bucket (changout) my Edition 30 front seats, since my other half cant sit in them comfortably.  I'm thinking of temporarily swapping them for a lower spec seat, as this should be less hassle than swapping her for a different spec woman. Does anyone know which lower spec Golf models had less buckety seats, but did have height adjustment, the airbags, and the other sensors as standard, so I can just plug in?   (I can do without the heating, but dont want any dash light hassles)
Thanks in advance.

Sport seats. You can see pics in my project, for example.

They came standard in Sport, GT and GT Sport trim levels, AFAIK. Just not in the Trendline and Comfortline.

Thanks for the reply, but are you sure? I cant see the pics of your project, but looking at a GT seat on ebay, it looks identical to the Edition 30 one, except for the trim colour. Are the GT ones definitely less bolstered than the Ed 30s?

Have you clicked the VW icon after "My ride" bellow my avatar?

My seat:


They're a bit less bolstered than the ones from the GTI/GTI Ed. 30 and R32.

Thanks very much, I didn't even see the my ride icon! Your seats do look like a good compromise for me, much appreciated!
