Uncomfortable seat side bolsters FR

[Jamesb]

Does anyone else have problems with the seat bolsters digging in to your thigh? I find the FR seats are narrow and quite highly bolstered. I am a big guy at 6ft 4 but previously had a scirocco which was more comfortable.
I feel they are more suited to the Spanish gentleman!
Has anyone ever changed the front seats in a mk3 or modified the bolsters in any way? I have a seat levelled cushion that helps somewhat but then I sit a bit too high in the car

Thanks
James

I get this too, but it only caused me problems on long journeys. After about 4 hours my right leg started going numb.

But I rarely ever do journeys of that length so I don't see it as a huge issue.

It is sportly car so you should choose Golf for more comfort seats

There are a few on eBay so have Considered swapping out the seats but one breakers said they have different rails so wouldn't fit easily.

I could just buy a golf but it would cost £3k more and not look as good as the leon!!

Just an update I went to a vehicle upholstery specialist in Manchester and they quoted £200 to amend the drivers seat. They would remove seat from car and cover, build up the Base with foam to raise driver up slightly, and then reshape the foam on the right side bolster to give a flatter shape. They would then restitch to make it look like the original so wouldn't be noticed.
One to think about but not cheap as sounds like they have to redo the airbags settings etc so sounds like best part of a day to do well
