I would say they will as it was mostly cosmetic changes on the MK3. You could possibly use the current MK2 runners on the MK3 base as another option.

The mk2 is on the PQ35 chassis, the mk3 is on the MQB chassis, there is a lot more than just cosmetic changes. The cars have different dimensions the mk2 being longer but narrower, but having a shorter wheelbase.

So you don’t reckon the seats will fit in ?

Do you know of anyone who has leather seats in a Mrk 2 that maybe knows what fits in and what doesn’t. I’ve heard that the MRK 5 golf seats are meant to fit straight into them but not sure.

They might, but they might not, I wouldn't splash the cash without being certain. They'd definitely go in if you were good a metal work and needed to change mounts/runners/etc. There is also the issue with wiring the seat belts as there may be changes there.

I stand corrected.

I kept thinking MK3 was the facelift MK2, my bad.

I’ve just put a set of mk5 golf R32 leathers in my 2011 Fr. Straight swap. Just had to trim the yellow plug to make the plugs slot together. That took seconds. Fitting the seats took 20

minutes or so.

That actually looks really smart. Fair play. Would the rear bench fit as well do you know?

[Pete77]

Yep

 

[380bhpdaily]

That looks awesome you may have started a new thing here by fitting those seats haha

 

[380bhpdaily]

Just need to find a cupra black roof lining and plastics that’ll look factory fresh mate

 

[Pete77]

I thought about that. I think I’ll hydro dip the plastics but not sure whether black or carbon.

 

[380bhpdaily]

Cool that’s a good idea not seen that before either.

Do you know if facelift and prefacelift seats are interchangeable or are they on different runners/plugs etc

I believe they are. Someone has just bought my old seats for a pre fl Leon.

Guys, as we're talking seat swaps, would anyone know if the mk2 seats would fit the mk3?
