S3 seats in a mk1 vrs

Boooom!

Item.mobileweb.eBay.co.uk/viewitem?sbk=1&nav=SEARCH&itemId=291019708392

Would go with the carpet too!

[snow_muncher]

I guess that cream colour could work if you suffered from very serious and uncontrollable travel sickness

[Scott_28]

Hey not my personal choice! Just the first thing I found on eBay when I searched! Could have potential though if you were to get them re-stitched in the exterior colour of car maybe?!

Personally if I had a choice it'd be the r32 Konigs I reckon

[snow_muncher]

r32 Konigs

R32 seat with leather cover removed:

 

- in reality the above seat would be more comfortable

[Scott_28]

Hahahaha! Quality!

I just like the look of the integrated headrest on them...never actually sat in them to be fair.

There are some black and white recaros on eBay too though....look like they need a damn good wet vac.

Nah, forget that...

 

 

Just make sure the missus doesn't wear her white skirt...

It's the lack of knickers she wears I worry about lol!

[demonufo]

Hey, it'll be a new experience then. At least you'll know what a black sofa looks like with pink cushions...

Duuude...you're like Google without the searching!

[demonufo]

I just have a lot of geeky friends.

 

 

 

Okay, I'm a geek!

[billy2981]

Depends.

I loved my konigs. Very comfortable and I could sit in them all day. I even slept in them for a few hrs in the services while on a 4hr drive north one morning after work.

If your slightly bigger built (no offence) then yea not the best. I got tgem due to boulster size as the vrs seats pinched and dug in to my leg.

[demonufo]

Well Luca's a big chap, but I'm tiny...

[Ade VRS]

Anyone know if Leon Cupra R seats fit?

Been offered a cheap set, might buy them if they are comfy and look ok in the Octy, maybe start my stockpile of parts to be fitted 

[missingmyvrs]

Just sold a mint set cheap

They weight a fexking ton in comparison to normal Vrs seat

[red devil]

The only downside that I found with replacing the vRS seats with any others is the doorcards!

 

The white just doesn't look right, even more so when you replace the carpet with a black one too

 

Been searching for a while for now for leather ones, when I did manage they where grey with the black leather insert and miles and miles away

 

Managed to source a full black interior and door cards very cheaply so the cards will be going in early next year when the weather changes (no access to a garage sadly)

 

Cupra R seats should fit the Octy but I'm sure someone will correct me if not...

[Oet]

cupra r/toldeo do fit, if they have motors they are heavier.

some are manual adjust.

 

 

all seats with motors are heavier. however unless you are in a race car, its not gonna matter.

Easy way is to use the carpet dye on the doorcards. It won't be black black, more a dark grey, but it's one solution. And if you use the same stuff for the carpet...

[VeedubyaGTi]

I`ve fitted leather Cupra R seats to my Octy, they fit well, the front seats are heavier because of the motors it`s true, but they much more supprtive with better bolsters than the OE seats I`ll live with it.

Already fitted a MK4 Golf black carpet, so need a solution for the door cards now. Carpet dye is an option, might give this a go yet, but would love some leather to match.

Are the s3 seat a direct replacement or is there any modifications that need doing?

Also is the mk4 golf carpet a direct replacment?

Cheers

To answer your questions yes to both

The only thing you'll need to do is connect up a loom to provide 12vdc to the electrics. But ignore the airbag connectors...

[demonufo]

Oh, and you'll want MORE than a 5A fuse for each seat. I settled for a 10A on each as 5's kept blowing. Unless the motors in mine are tired...

[mattyvrs03]

Cheers, where would I wire up the loom too?
