They look shocking
I think the right motor for them would be a green Lotus Bighorn.
I might be able to help you there
They look great mate _________________

Seat belt clasps need swapping (well they did on mine) as they are a different size plus the mk4's have pre-tensioners _________________ LTM NO.41 |

Eithan.... The front seats are in very good nick, but one of the S springs has snapped on the drivers one. Easy repair with the seat out of the car . I've sent you a PM
As for the seat belt issue....
Basically I've taken the runners, which includes the clasp and the pre-tensioner mounts, off my old seats and just swapped them onto the Recaros. It's a straight swap and dead easy, 2 bolts on one side of the seat and 4 on the other. I had to take the whole seat and subframe assembly out to do it, but that's only 4 bolts into the floorpan, and one that holds the clasp mount onto the runner. _________________

Same seats I have in my bighorn. Epically comfortable. Ive come from a celica background and until I wiggled my ass into these a gen 6 celica was the most comfortable thing I had sat in! Shame there's no centre armrest though. |

Yes they are comfy,I've got the same ones in mine, they might even be the most comfortable seats I've ever sat in for a long journey!
