How did you get on fitting these seats? I've just bought some for my mk6 and I dont fancy buying the frames from Recaro as they are about £400!

Cheers

Not sure he fitted them in the end. An option could be to buy some cheap front seats from a golf, cut the frames off and put them on your new seats?

Oh really? I was thinking of trying to make up some adapter plates, so that i can still use the vxr surbframes and still have the height adjustment. I've not really had a good look at it yet to see how they will fit. just hoping for some tips

I didn't buy them in the end as there was too much work involved. The frames etc sit really heigh so the seats looks really tall. I've bought two brand new cs's instead. All I have to do is bolt the recaro subframes and they fit straight in.

I personally don't think it's as easy as losing the vxr subframes and  bolting  standard golf ones to it. Any more questions just ask.

Yeah I know, but they look similar and are dirt cheap.

The actually cs's are well worth the money. Just need someone to trim them... Hint him n8kow

It's not a lot of work to get them fitted at all, as long as you can use an angle grinder and can get hold of a pilar drill to make some brackets. I have them in my car, I have them the same height as I had the standard gti seats so not too high at all. I do know that someone has cut the subframes off of a mk5 and rewelded to the corsa seats and they also said it wasn't a huge job. As for them not being supportive, I don't agree absolutely love them. Plus the price I picked mine up for I couldn't say no to.

Just my 2p worth

Did you get yours off the lad on Instagram? Grey centres ?

They support is decent, but the cs's hug you a bit more. Your comment will hopefully help the lad out who wants to fit them.
