binliner 0 Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 if you get leather fgrom another mk3 golf its a simple job changing them overIf theyre heated then you will need the wiring loom... its a pain in the arse to fit, not because its technically difficult but because you have to take half the dash apart to run the wiring!

antera309 3 Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 £200 is a very good price for Mk3 leathers with door cards. These regularly sell for £500-£600 on eBay and the forums. Go for it!Removing/Fitting the seats themselves is a doddle. Door cars are not much harder. No more than an hour and a half to fit the lot, I'd say.Add another 2-3 hours for fitting the heated seats loom and switch. It's not a difficult job, it's just that lots of dashboard trim has to come off first. As far as connecting up the loom goes, I've had a lot of questions about this. See this thread for assistance here.I have a lot of experience with Mk3 interiors (see here) so let me know if there's anything you're not sure about.[ Edited Tue Feb 22 2005, 12:17PM ] Link to post Share on other sites

binliner 0 Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 my new car is a colour concept and I much prefer the seats to the highline ones but black cc interiors are quite hard to come by Link to post Share on other sites
