I want to put some nice Mk4 Golf Recaros in my leon. What ones should i look out for? How much should i expect to pay for them and is there any complications i need to be aware of? Cheers for any advise

They're a str8 fit.

Try and find them with Intact Airbags. Will save you some inventing.


Then its a matter of personal taste.

Audi A3 Seats also fit

I went for the S3 leather recaro, they have the electric 's as well not sure if the golf ones have this, easy to connect up just need neg and positive feed. prices about £300-£500.
Here are mine.

Another strike here for S3 seats, Ive got the leather and alacantra ones. So much more comfortable than the Leon seats. Just need to wire mine up..... And clean them.

Thats one of the things i like about the S3 interier it just has the RECARO on the seat and no Audi branding, so as mine is a cupra and had the leather any way so door cards match it all fits and looks OE.

those s3 recaros are stunning, ebay best place to be looking for them? due to the current car market i think il be keeping the LCR for a while yet so ive decided to shower it with some love! (get it detailed etc) those seats would update the interior somewhat, but i may have to retrim the door cards etc...

Those S3 seats look stunning!!:drool:

Is fleabay the best place to be looking? What are the chances of being able to get a decent set from breakers etc?

I drive a 180 and the seats are not electric etc. would i have any complications if i were to try and fit these into my cupra or would they drop straight in?

Had them in my old Golf Mk4 and yeo the look nice but

On the good side;-
Heated Option was nice

On the bad side;-
The back and sides was Faux leather and noticable IMO
They didn't hold you all that well because they were slippery and needed some alcantara inserts or similar
Look better than they work IMO
