What seats do you have in your mk1's?

[hoggy90]

Does anyone have anything besides the standard seats?if so how easy were they to fit?
and can you post up some pics?

 

[RS6]

yes i would like to know also

I put cupra seats into my 1.6 to replace the standard nasty grey cloths? Really easy job, just bolts and slideyness!

But im sure some of the others will be along in a bit to tell better tales of leathery heated goodness!

Hoggy, does "standard seats" include the Recaro option on the LCR? Because I've got those, front and rear, and they're a world apart compared to the Mrs's 1.4S seats

Cheers for replying lads...

Antnee no the recaro's to me would not really count as standard seats mate any pics of them in your car?

Jim how much did you pay for the cupra seats?

 

[Jimski]

£15 haha! thats for the whole rear bench and the two front seats.

Slightly damaged, but only to the release handle for the sliding movement, which i fixed

I think it was up for £30 with no damage, from a member on here, but the price was dropped to reflect the damage,

any pics jimski?

 

[Jimski]

Ummmm dont think i have dude, they are just the standard cupra seats, black outers and bolsters with the dark grey fleck print seat areas.

Really comfy, almost buckety.

Oddly enough, no, I don't appear to have any pics of mine, but I have found these online:

They are seriously comfortable, adjustable and supportive. Well worth the guy who bought the car new paying an extra £1200

quite a few different seat you can fit, Golf/Bora mk4 Recaro, Also standatd golf GTI seats seem to me a better fit aswell, being slight smaller, Audi S3 seat, Cupra/Cupra R or Cupra R recaros. All good

 

[hoggy90]

hmm i'll need to give a couple scrapyards a call tomorow to see if they have any cupra seats they look nice


cheers for all the replies lads

I'v got the leather S3 recaros.

 

[Willie]

Theres LCR Black seats for sale just now

PM me if interested

 

[mjt]

i have half leather recaros embossed with the Cupra logo

they are very supportive, but they really do need a thigh support like on the S3 for long journeys

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

I got some heated Recaro's there a hell of a lot better than the standard Cupra seats.

 

[LEE69]

any pics jimski?

Here they are in my LC 180 cupra

 

[mjt]

those recaros are the best that you could get with the Leon
obviously the best ones that you can fit in there are the S3 ones.

my heated cupra recaros

 

[hoggy90]

mjt those heated recaros looks amazing how much would a set of those cost?lol

 

[mjt]

as far as i know they were only available in the Cupra 4 which was only produced for about a year, circa 2002

IMHO, if you're getting leather then you need it heated. My steering wheel is cold enough when the weather is cold, I would not want to sit on something that cold! Happy with the fabric covered Recaros personally
