Funny I was thinking the same thing, I have had many mk2's and they are not genuine recaros.

I have been talking about this matter on the Golf GTi Forum and I agree that they are not the same as the UK Spec Recaro seats, with the larger bolsters and bigger head rests... like these Edition ones...



But I have been searching ebay.de and have found a number of similar seats that all seem to have the proper Recaro logo fitted into the back rest of the seats... These are not a bodge job and have holes & proper fixings to the seats.... See Pic Below...



So It may seem that some German models had some different Recaro seats fitted??

The Ebay listing did also point this out... I will be relisting them tonight... As I wasnt happy with the layout & wording on the listing

No, they're stock mk2 seats with recsro badges fitted. They're not the same as as the ones in the above picture behind the oak green mk2

Quote from an GTi Forum Member...

Look identical to my 'Recaro' seats, same shape, same badge. They're bog std pre-90 MK2 shape seats, I have swapped bolsters over from std seats into mine, frames are identical to std pre-90 GTI seats also. I'm pretty sure yours have been retrimmed too, bog std MK2 leather didn't have different colour piping AFAIK.

FWIW, I swear blind I saw a vag options catalogue pic somewhere years ago with these shape seats with the very same logo on them. It is also an old saying that all GTI seats were made by Recaro, possibly the early ones were. Alos to add an interesting dimension to this discussion, the backrest angle knobs on my seats both have 'Recaro' written on them, whereas std GTI seats do not.

Is the colour of the rear bench 100% the same? could be fronts are random option from another early model, rear bench trimmed to match. The catalogue I mention above I'm pretty sure was MK1 cabrio, and remember they were made by the coachbuilders Karmann, so different seat trim options might have existed plus special leather retrims etc. I know my seats arn't original fabric, they have been retrimmed in velour!

These are definitely not the MK2 Recaros as we know them here in the UK, the UK MK2 Recaros looked just like the Edition ones you pictured, just with varying fabric trim colours.

As I said I have stated that these are not the Stock UK Recaro's like the Edition one ones... on the listing...

They don't look like recaros, just like like normal mk2 seats. Do the adjusters have recaro written on them?

I know, but the bolsters are bigger... Like the ones at the back of the green German one..

Do the adjusters have recaro written on them?

Not that I can see....

I think that they should do. Also on the tilt forward handle but not 100% on that.
