The big problem would be the subframes. If you're trying to fit Mk4 R32 seats then it might a lot easier, as I know the GTi Recaros drop right in. But if the R32 uses a different subframe you'll need to adapt that, or the LCR one, to fit.

Best person to speak to is Robdon...he has done it.

I've just been told that the R32 seats should drop straight in as they use pretty much the same subframe as the rest of the MK4 Golf range

Ill have to have a look at the price then get them covered like the original LCR seats think they would look sweet.

Not 6 grand, more like £600.

There a few bargains to be had. Just dont look at e-bay.

600 a seat i could live with but where do you recommend looking Blackcupra

£600 a seat is seriously OTT! You could buy some very nice, non-Golf (i.e. aftermarket) seats for that with subframes in your own choice of seat trim and colour. You'd be mad to pay £1200 for a set.

True i do like the Recaros tho and i think the R32 seats would hold you well plus your kinda keeping the OEM look kind of

why not try and source some LCR Recaro's then and no need for the retrim, must be some somewhere, fast cars are prone to ending up in scrap yards from time to time.
