Congratulations!

Scirocco 2 seats will fit, but the center slide rail is too tall, so
there would be a lot of slop, unless you shimmed it or something..

Same thing with the A2 seats, plus the passenger side is not height
adjustable.

Solution: Take the bottom seat cushions and upholstery off of the new
seats, and mount them on your '81 S lower seat frames.
Then just snap on the seat backs and pop the clip back on. 

I recently did that to 2 black leather Scirocco 16V seats, for my '79, I
used the '81 S lower seat frames, 
 since it will not work on the regularnon-S high back Scirocco seats.

I also used the blue upholstery from a set of non height adjustable '84
GTI seats, and mounted them on Scirocco 2 frames for the '84.
