Out with the old... In with the new...!!!



  Recaro Black Gold 182
Ok, i got sick and tired of the standard interior in my car and wanted something better, after months of searching for a Mk1 172 interior i decided to look for something different... I purchased a full 172 Cup interior for £150 yesterday, and got everthing fitted in today...

They are so much better and im really pleased with them...

Cheers fella, the only thing that i need to sort out is the trim on the front doorcard, managed to replace the rear. Im glad with the outcome.

Makes a big difference going round corners that comfy armchair feeling now gone

You'll probably have to do a retrim using the fronts TBH mate unless - should be quite cheap tho
 
  Recaro Black Gold 182
Yeah, there is such a difference, plus they dont look out of place in the Phase 1. I think i will get the fronts re-trimmed, hopefully will be cheap enough. Forgot to say, thanks to everyone who helped with the install (EvilJohn, The Big Yin, M1TCH)

Its a 1.2, yeah you have said that before i think, lol. What are the actual weights of the seats then, not that i really makes that much difference, lol :D
 
  Golf GTI 1.8T
f**k knows what the weights are, but mine a bloody heavy. I can just about carry one seat but its not easy. the rear bench is a bit bulky too!
 
  Recaro Black Gold 182
Fair enough, lol, all i know its far lighter than the standard stuff i had in, its just a whole lot better all round.
 
  Recaro Black Gold 182
Cheers for all the comments, i'm also loving being able to change the height of seat which i never had before. I also think the seats have a really crisp finish.

^^^ Yeah i thought so too, just a shame i had to drive 4hours to sunderland to pick them up then 4hours back again, was a trek, but worth it :D

Nice one mate, looks good, glad I could help! The guide is coming along now, got clickable thumbnails!! Busy week coming up but hopefully be done by midweek
 
  Recaro Black Gold 182
Cool, the guide helped quite a bit actually, especially with the front seats and rear door cards. Thanks again fella.

Could put something is there about changing the pre-tensioners, also are you going to add about removing front door cards? Cant think of anything else, even as it was it helped me.
 
  Recaro Black Gold 182
No, its in mint condition and the guy gave me loads of extras too, i guess it was just luck really, got it off ebay.
