The deal has has gone to the wall, the buyer cannot do the deal until a week later, so they may be going back on the "bay"... :confused:

Why do people do this, bid on something and then mess the sellers about, we've has this twice on fleabay recently. One item we were selling we gave the other bidder a second chance offer...so he watched it and then didn't want it......MONG!!!

I would have bought these. But I have non tilting front seats, which would be no good for this seller as he has a three door.
Shame, because he lives fairly close to me.
The sports recaro seats is the only option I haven't got on my R32.
On the other hand I don't think the missus would be happy with me spending that much on a pair of seats just before Xmas.
They do finish the interior off nicely though!

This is again a typical example of supply and demand lads. They appear for sale very rarely and as such go for silly silly money :jumpmove:


....I think I was very lucky with mine and jonnyc was a perfect gent as a seller and even helped me fit them.

A grand plus leather seats!!  :surprised: :surprised:

I wonder what my GTI Recaro's are worth then as they are better than slidey leather one's plus they have GTI on the headrest part.......  :popcornsoda:


....Mine are unique - They have the .:R logo on the headrests  :P  :happy2:

Getting rid of your stock seats as part of the deal is probably very convenient and saves all the hassle of selling them separately.

I was just teasing Nathan. I purposely didn't post any pics of mine [but of course the thought did cross my mind].

I actually found the Standard seats to be more comfortable.  On long journeys especially.  They don't look as good though!

Are you saying because they can get uncomfortable? because if so i would agree. I have these in my Gti and sometimes they can leave me with lower back pain and i find i have to move around a fair bit. Luckily the drive isn't to far to work! but they do look awesome.

This is exactly the reason when I had a choice of GTI's when I brought by first Mk5 I chose the car without the Recarro's  :smiley:

IMHO the standard seat are supportive enough for the times you get a bit more engaged with the car while being much more comfortable on longer journeys  :driver:

I suffer with back problems too and after 2 x trips to the Ring with these seats I have felt no ill effects. Yes the standard seats are comfier but so is your armchair!  :laugh:

I felt these seats hold me in better and inspire confidence when the mood suits. Yes they are a tad on the hard side but I don't mind................  :happy2:

And they look better!  :P :grin:
