I like them.

Keep playing with the idea of buckets for the GTi, as I can never quite get comfortable in the standard seats.

they are truely brilliant would recomend them to anyone! and mine are only steel frame i want some composite ones!

but they hold you so well when cornering and the feeling of puttig on a proper seat belt has never been so strange after you use a harness!

i love them but in a 3 door they are a bit annoying my rule is if your not skinny enough to get in the back you cant come with!

would get tilting subframes but there stupid expensive! and want springs!

I think if I were to fit buckets, I'd just take the back seats out.

Saves a little bit of weight, and prevents the need to cram people in the back from ever occurring

forget the seats
you lucky bugger, from the pic of that wing-mirror you have two smaller ones? (as the passenger side was the smaller one)

I think it's the bigger one Ben, as it's got the overtaking line on it

[off topic]Well it is late,

You looking forward to the Expo[/off topic]

I'm not a fan of seats like that tbh, one of my favourite aftermarket seats is still the Cobra Sidewinder

what ones come with the bigger wing mirror? mine has two small ones

All of them mate, they have a big mirror on the drivers side, all to do with a wider field of vision for overtaking.

Then a smaller one on the passenger side, the previous owner must have changed to 2 small ones

nope, mine came standard with two small ones. I've seen photos of it when it was first bought
