Was just wondering whether mk4 recaro seats are a straight fit into a mk1 fabia vrs or if modding is required? Thanks in advance

Mod req.

What modding needs doing? Drilled rails etc? N what about the rear?

its been done, the rails are completely different and cannot be drilled. You need to dismantle your existing seat base, the donor seat base and swap a lot of parts over to in effect get your Fabia rails onto the Golf seats.

After the seat discussion, pastyboy purchased some seats and fully documented the change.

Anyone know someone getting rid of a set of fabia leathers then?

Lol.

Good luck.

Rare and expensive.

There are forum members who can fabricate seats for you a lot cheaper than buying leathers.

How much roughly?

Depends what you want.

PM a member called 'Pulse' he does seats but he's not the only one.

I'm sure he can help you though.

Ideally I want leather seats, cos it's all I've had in all my cars

Why get someone else to do it (unless you are a total and utter technical luddite), just do it yourself, its not like changing a clutch or anything,

 

Its only removing a few bolts etc and just going about things methodogically not to break anything ( like taking anything apart ).

 

For the most part its not really much different from removing your seat covers for cleaning etc. Its a pain in the arse, with all the clips, yes, but difficult, no.

I didn't know where to start changing seats, till someone showed me. Have now done three changes.
