New Members Say Hi! / New memeber in Devon
Last post by GTI_SI -based in Exeter, Devon, had VAG cars for the last 30+ years. I've had quite a few Mk2's 8v's,16v's and a Syncro. I've not had a MK2 in a few years as have been concentrating on my G60 Corrado and have had a brief flirtation with T4's.
Last week I was extreemly fortunate to win a rather nice Mk2 20VT on the LLF Games platform

Last post by Monkey -Word of warning on Elis, it's all in fields, so if the weather is bad, not many people will turn up!
Though if it's a nice day, it's usually packed!
If you fancy a bit of a drive, it's our monthly meet in Bristol this Friday...

Last post by Eddypeck -Hiya! I'm a new member! I'm in Gloucestershire, I bought my 89 GTi from a lovely couple in Leeds so I guess that's one more in the SW!
@Clomojo there's North Bristol meet this Friday. There are a fair few of us along the M5 stretch between Bristol and Gloucester that attend every month, Thornbury, Dursley, Stroud, Quedgeley etc.

General Chat / Re: Seat covers mk3 fitting in an mk2?
Last post by t2000 -IIRC the late MK2 GTI seats are like the early MK3.
@t2000 I'm assuming you used tiewraps instead of replacing the metal hog rings? A good idea.
But MK2 seats are sooo much easier than MK7 Fiesta seats which have 10+ rings. You can imagine what F.U.N. that was transferring heating pads over and re-assembly of both sets!
I used small cable ties and cut off the excess, just straight through the hog ring holes direct to the metal bar underneath, although just thinking about it they were B3/4 Passat seats, only issue was the headrest area in the Passat where not the same so not a great fit.
They sat a bit higher than stock seat and the drivers one was firm as i used some of what was left of the MK2 base foam and added it to the MK3 stuff as i like a firm seat, came out ok in the end although there were holes on the lower sides where I took the plastic trays off, couldn't see them with the doors closed though.
They lasted 20 years so definitely doable.
