I'll get a pic of mine up tomorrow. It's a bit of a funnly looking one. Mandarina colour. AKA Bronze. Bit of a minger. Edit: I keep forgetting to do it in the day and it's freakind dark in the evening.

My mate works at a car tuning company that I won't name. For the low end stuff, you can buy it all unbranded from china, then sell in your own packaging for a small mark up. That seems to be standard practice for your average semi cowboy / semi serious establishment. I say that as they have some good people there who wouldn't rip you off. The owner would though and obviously the re-packaged stuff on their site will be that ****. Not sure if it's better than oem stuff... but I'm no expert or even remotely close. Personally I was going to buy some of these Silverlines and be done with it: http://www.awesomegti.com/car/seat/arosa/fk-coilover-silverline-fit-for-seat-arosa-6h-6hs-year-06-97 But I know next to nothin

I concur... that sounds a good deal indeed. I was thinking if all else fails buy covers the same colour as the seats. I'd do it myself if I was in any way competent at this sort of stuff, but I ain't. Grinding, I can do that. But anything that involves genuine talent particularly of an artistic nature, rule me out. So £80 will be the lowest I could hope for I think. The base price.

Ok that makes sense. They are the more ubiquitous cars so it would be easier to source. Would you have any idea what is needed to modify the rears to fit in the back... just in case I get funny about two distinct types of seat being in there? I'll google myself once I'm out of my favourite time constraint (work...) </sarcasm> I will google though...

May be the Lupo GTI ones I look for then me thinks. I saw someone online selling a rather expensive converted mk4 golf ones. Although, I'd still like an explanation of ground Mk4 golf ones. The car being more popular would probably mean that I'm more likely to be able to find the little buggers when the time comes.

Ah ha... you see I don't plan on decent coil overs... maybe lowering springs for fun... but only as I am not spending a lot of cash on this car. Remap, rear ARB, seats that stop you falling out open windows and a little lower to the ground. I was looking for Lupo GTi ones. I'd like it all to match if I'm honest... but really don't expect to pay a lot, which may be ambitious in a cake and eat it kind of way. Golf MK4 recaro's with ground bases? Is this ground as in, you have to grind them? Also, I'm quite tall, so the sitting low down handle thing that you pump is pretty important to me. I would be a little upset without it.

Hi, I am a new Arosa TDI owner - never have guessed that from the freaking thread title would ya - in Bournemouth. I have a question. I am fed up of almost falling out of the car window when I go round corners. Does anyone have any recommendations for seats for these cars? Searching for Seats as a SEAT owner is somewhat of a nightmare. Something to do with SEAT being the same spelling as seat... but I don't really get the reference. Any help is much appreciated. I'm off on holiday soon, so not looking to buy straight away, just incase someone is trying to offload any now. Thanks
