urban myth or is it true?

Hi guys and gals, I'm trying to sort out my interior on the mk2 and while I love the original seats that are in they are a tad snug shall we say for my bigger frame, mk3 seats are much more comfortable so I was thinking of fitting one in and having it retrimmed to suit, my problem is having found some to suit, some folk claim its a direct swap between 2's & 3's and others say you have to bend the frame or cut and re-weld the frames?? Anyone got any thoughts please?

 

Mk3 to mk2 is not a direct swap. Some cutting/fettling and welding is required.

 

Mk3 seats aren't more comfortable, often just less worn out.

 

sit in some mk2 recaros, they are the most comfortable and supportive seats by far

 

I've got some recaros that are ment to be out of a mk2 and if anything they dig in a little more, I'm quite tall and broard with it, my vr6 seats were uber comfy though

 

X2 on that

I will eventually buy a set for mine. My friend recently sold his mk2 which had a full blue edition 1 recaro, which he removed before selling. I'm hoping he'll do me a deal
