just to draw a line under this thread today i have finally collected the last part of my Recaros.

There is a bit of a stretch in the material around the head rest holes

and they've had to put a strip across the top to hide the extra head rest holes which i now don't use

However we are now fully red and black after 3 months of running with not large rear back rest

One thing i have done is to actually use the wrong headrest as the donor for the material for the strip.

Of the 3 there were 2 the same and the centre one was different. I was sure i'd double and triple checked them but somehow i used one of the outer one for the donor which now means the centre one does not go all the way down into the holes.

Not a major thing but a bit frustrating; means i have to pull the actual outside one up a little to make them match but hey ho you live and learn.

Overall though super happy with them

Oops, just went and bought myself a Mk4 recaro Interior.

 

Just gona use my vRS seat bases to swap over. Seems much easier than using the peasant seats!

Wish me luck! D:

It's actually really simple once you start. Everyone is super concerned but it's so easy.

 

Only with using your VRS seats is that they are actually worth something to sell on if they are in decent condition.

I bought my donor interior for £90 and sold my VRS interior for £150 - giving me the £60 i needed for the upholstery modifications.

 

start a thread and keep us updated with progress

Yeah my VRS seats are a bit ****. Torn drivers bolster and a bit manky tbh. Bought them that way as I knew i'd be changing the seats at some point.

 

Could reverse engineer them to fit in a MK4 golf and sell them that way :P
