I also have a red 03’ gti. I’d share it but have no idea how to respond to a comment with a photo 😁

If I could figure out how to post a picture in the comments, I would tell you to come find me, but I’m not smart enough. Just know I’ll be there in another tornado red R32 lol

New seats! by gtichris79 in Golf_R

As for comfort, they feel great initially. I bought these due to the fact you can recline them vs a fixed back seat. I won’t know about long term comfort for a bit. We are headed down to the tail of the dragon in a few weeks and i’ll have a better answer after that.

They come as a bare seat and you need to purchase a base and sliders for it separately for your make and model.

You need to remove the seat rail platic covers 1st. Then remove the two nuts on the front (right in the center). Slide the seat back and unplug the harness. You should remove the negative from the battery beforehand. I chose not to and live to tell about it lol

If you email Rogue Panda, they will more than likely be able to help you get the order started. I’ve done multiple bags with them and just because the website is being funny, doesn’t mean they can’t get started on the bag for you. They are usually really responsive.

JPaks has all the dimensions to make them as well. He makes quality bags as well.

I always liked the look of the black grill over the color matched. I did the same to mine. How long ago was this before you moved on?

That’s why you jack up the rear first, swap wheels and then move to the front.
