The quality is amazing and worth every penny .

Sorry for photo, by 5 million pixel camera is at home, so this was taken with phone.



Will be trying to get in for Bedford . Sorry, but passengers have to slum it in the OE seat .

Believe me, the photo doesn't do the seat justice. Fully leathered up Pole Position Recaro .

Franky,
They're not cheap - £785 including side mounts.

Spadge,
About half the weight of the standard one - it feels about 7 to 8 kg. The normal Pole Position (unleathered) is 6.5 kg.

Gav,
No, as it is a legal requirement that if you have back seats, you have to have access to them, and these seats do not fold, so the passenger will have to do without .

Andy,
As it would happen, these seats are standard fit in the limited edition Audi TT and the seat backs come colour coded to the car. Mine are gloss black.

Dom,
Talk to the hand .

"ooh look , your bonnets broken"

" ooh look, hes naff'd one of his seats and fitted a cheap one that doesnt match"

Dave,
If I didn't have a little 'un, I wouldn't be concerned, but I need access to the back. As the seats are in matching leather, I don't think it will look too bad .

Andy,
The seat back:

Dave,
Not with your baby power . Plus I don't race on the high-street or in McDonalds car parks, and I can't see you going on track, as there are no school girls there to impress .

Looks good Mike. Would personally rather have a pair of supportive recliners though, so it looks even. It's not like you're too bothered about the saved weight is it?
