Recaro from S3 into S2

IIRC they are to wide to fit any good. And if you have a sunroof, they are probobly to high as well.

Thnx for feedback
Reason for asking is the need of new seats as mine (LH driver seat) is trash and the S3 Recaro "looks nice" ...
but, as I'm 1.85 tall and also have a sunroof, and as the weight is "ridiculously" I suppose it's really not an option.
Any other alternatives/suggestions ?

TT no.
B4 cabriolet will fit.
I seem to remember Golf Mk4 front seats fit but they sit a little higher, the subframes can be cut down and re welded.

Is it only Mk4 or does other models also fit ?
So measure the distance between your runners and check what you’re buying.
I’m not an expert on golfs but there are bound to be a few on here

The important thing is the runners are the same, the later cars use a completely different system.

These seats have the same width runners (540mm) and should be plug and play:
Vento
Golf 3 (not convertible)
Passat 35i (but have a higher console)
Polo 6N and Ibiza
80 typ89
80 convertible (but not the ones with integrated seatbelt)
An exeption would be the early coupe with 3b engine,
these would have a different floor as for what I have
read about this topic.

3B seats fit the ABY and vice versa, you just have to turn the release mech around, I’ve done it a few times.
