Just trying to find out what would fit! I know the door cards won't fit from the golfs but I am not too concerned about that! Would either of these:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-VOLKSWAGEN-GOL ... 500wt_1156
Thanks for looking

You'd need custom subframes but it is possible for them to be fitted.
Seen them in a polo before. Guy on here has got the recarro cs seats which would have been a similar process to fit, might be worth asking him

Wouldnt say it was a wee bit of modding!
The fronts will be straight foward1 Probably get a spare set of runners for your car, abit of hacking and welding and you should be able to bash up some custome subframes to fit.
The rears however arent going to be as simple, you'll have to mod the seats themselves, ie take the leather skin back, probs trim at the seat bolster/foam and then re-apply the skin. Remember the golf r32 is alot wider than the polo so the rear bench is going to be alot wider!
Sounds easy enough but is a b***h of a job! Not trying to put you off as it can be done, but not just a case if some simple modding!

Have to agree with Monkey-Man, the rears are gonna be alot more challenging than the fronts. If you are gonna spend so much, why not just likes of 'lighter' recardo CS etc because them r32 seats are heavy.

Well I pmed monkey-man and he said the best bet would be some s3 recaros would fit nice in a 9n and would probs be the best option. Found a set on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Audi-S3-Leather-e ... 2eb53ee048
live round there anyway so might be an option

Not sure if hes on here any longer but chances are he's still got them.

Have you got sports seats in your car already? For £1200 you could get them recovered - better quality leather and no issues with fitting.

Well I do have sport seats in mine already but I'm in the process of putting a deposit down on polo-03s customed leather s3 recaroS and they are immaculate! See them in the for sale section!
