Yeah they're aftermarket Recaro seats. You may have recognised them from the S3/RS4/RS6 Audi's. They are used in those cars as well, albeit slightly modified - the guy that runs Recaro NL wouldn't let me call them identical, he was adament that the OE Audi seats are not as good as the aftermarket ones. Something to do with cost cutting, lower standards, etc.

Oh well. I don't know if it's true, but I do know the seats flippin' own.

Very. But quite firm too - they're all I'd want in a seat tbh.

- Adjustable side bolsters (slightly wider for me, narrower for the GF)
- Seat length is adjustable
- Height/Tilt adjustable
- Adjustable lumbar support (using a pump, single chamber)
- headrest is height + angle adjustable

You can get these with optional ventilation and heating if you want it. Oh, and power everything too. And, if they're good enough for the RS6, they'll do fine in my 1997 Polo.

:D
