    Yeah I was going to ask you about your seats Pullstarter. Do you have any pics of the subframes by any chance?

    And on another note, how the hell does everyone know my first name?

    I must say I'm more impressed with the lovely handbag you have there. It matches the car very nicely.
    Oh and the seats aren't to shabby either.

    I'll have you know that's a Prada bag sweety!!

    Sorry James no pics of the subframes, they bolt into the standard rails etc and have separate sliders which fit onto the top of the subframe. Were a bit of a pain to install, was quite a bit of fiddling involved but all good in the end. Very happy with them

    I fitted Recaro's into my Mk3.
    I bought the Recaro Rails/Frames from Roman Autotek many yeatrs ago.
    Cost me an arm and a leg for the pair of rails... something like $250 each.
    They are ADR approved etc.

    The Recaro frames slide just like the originals... but the down side is that you loose lever height adjustment and the convenient side pocket of the Mk3 seats.
    The rails have a tab on the front and back with 3-4 holes so you can adjust the height or rake of the seat by bolting the seat into a new position... so is set it and forget it till you get you sockets out again for a change.
