    Does anyone have pics of the GTI leather seats??

    I have been trawling around with no luck, would like to see what they look like before ordering.

    I have a 2007 model GTI with APR so don't mind the wait....

    Scroll down mate. In short, don't mess with the traditional tartan seats, they are a part of the GTI heritage and symbol, plus the pleather seats look horrible and offer next to no functional advantage.

    Btw, I have the new Polo GTI with the tartan seats and it's a great test to see how much people know about GTIs base on their comment on the seats.

    I took a look at the 'leather" option when ordering my car and one look made my mind up. $1900 for predomiately velour seats that look crappy the moment you sit on them. The only benefit I guess is they're heated, but why would you pay that much for a "nice to have"? Instead I ordered a panoramic sunroof for $1700.

    I love the tartan

    My company supplies the same leather as used in these seats.
    The cost price is about 10 percent of that

    Power mods or a nav perhaps??

    No, I am not aware of heated seats being an option with the standard cloth tartan interior.
