Aircooled VW South Africa

Hey guys. so my hunt for better seats has begun. i want something better than the og seats in my beetle. so ive been searching scrap yards and what not. i want to know what seats are the easiest to fit into a bug? like best fit, easy rear access, affordable etc, lets discuss seating options. i know racing seats will work, but thats the last option, might be the easiest, but im shying away from them. what seats have you guys seen in a bug, and how are they mounted? people say the xr3 seats will fit, but if i could find an xr3 id have another project. lol. also corsa seats, may have a set avail. for R1300 but too expensive i feel. also whats the measurements of the beetle seats, so i have a referance.
Thanks guys.

Alfa GTV seats work,Audi A3 seats are also nice.

Both you have to fit on the Beetle seat rails.

Seats, hmmm,


Now I am the opposite, I am looking for the OG seats for my car, have got the old Toyota TRD seats ( I think ) in my car but would prefer the originals! When the money is there, I will start shopping around!

Neil, What condition must the seats be in?

HR,

They need to be in usable condition, but also does not really matter as I would probably need to get the redone.

Why you ask?

My seats are a bit tired! Would need to be recovered!

THEQs duuude. post me a pick of your seats. il give u mine no prob.

You may have just completed my car! haha. just gotta see your seats now. hahaha. oh and how are they mounted?

I have a leather Noble bucket seat im gonna be using !

I will take some pics tomorrow (Saturday) and send them to you, should I post them here or MMS them?

Not sure how they are mounted but it is on the rails, as the seat does move back and forth, if that helps!

Cheers

Amazing concept, isn't it?

Well I like this one....

I like that one to Vader....

Ron, Sometimes it just takes simple ideas.....I'm good at them!

I have Recaro seats in my bug , once they are mounted it looks good , but it is a mission to install.
