Hmm.
Here is an object of note. I'm sure there will be other ppl out there with
different opinions, but here are mine based on my experience. By some
freak of nature when i bought my 16v it had grey cloth recaros. I could
_BARELY_ fit in the car. The PO sold off and another set of servicable
seats were fitted. These seats turned out to be wolfsburg seats. They sit
slightly different than either corraddo or std 16v seats. They are lower
by about 1-2cm. not to mention they are wider for ppl like me :-). I am
happy enough that I'm going to get them recovered with corraddo heating
elements in them. Heated wolfsburg seats :-)..... I get to have the A/C on
while my wife is toasty warm instead of her being warm and me being
hot....oh well enough about me.
