The leather trimmed Milanos in a 2 door Golf in particular...
I was wondering how easy it was to install them, and if everything necessary for installation came included.
Also, how different is there fold forward design from the "Easy Entry" setups found in the 2 door Golfs? Any complaints from passengers?
How is the leather material/quality?
Last of all, where did you buy them, and did you pay the full US$1199 list price they have on the Sparco website?

Re: (SailexGti.hk)

I love how everyone just says "Get Recaro seats!" instead of answering the questions people ask about Sparcos. Is it that hard to believe that some people actually want the Sparco seats in their cars?
Sorry if I sound like a dick.. I'm just tired of asking questions about the Sparco Torinos I've been thinking about buying and reading post after post saying I should get Recaros instead.
EDIT: And yes, Sparcos fit our cars. I've seen plenty of photos of various Sparco models in Golfs, GTIs, and Jettas.

heilx7:
i know! i know it is fit our cars, but you know, GTI is one of the first mass production cars to have OEM recaro seat , i think it is better to have recaros inside our car, to remain the GTI hertiage.

We'll see. Hey get in touch with me about the 4Mo V6 test drive would you? I'm anxious to try it! Also, the shiftknob arrived at my place in the States. Let me know what you want to do about it.
Helix7 - I understand your frustration, did you end up getting the Torinos?

LotusSyfn - I'll be in touch with you about this.

Re: SPARCO Milanos

Yeah... I don't need to tilt them forward, but I have 4-points mounted anywaz, so I have no rear seatbelts.
In anycase, the seats are SUPER adjustable, and you just pull the latch on the side of the seat up, and the seats tilt forward. To put them back, all you do it push the seat back, and it locks back into the original position that you had it in.
These seats have so many great features. Well, I'm off to bed. God bless!

roadsleeper: No, I haven't gotten the Sparcos yet... I have to wait a while to accumulate some more funds, and besides, I think I body kit is going to be next.. then we'll see about the Sparcos. But I'm DEFINITELY going to get the Sparco Torinos when I'm ready to buy.
ANd for anyone that is interested, here's a pic of the Torinos installed in someone's GTI (I think):

Mike are those the Torino's? Are they comfortable daily drivers? What is the Jacquard material like? Do you always use the racing harness, you can still use the regular belts right?
Sorry for all the questions. I don't see why so many people are anti-sparco the seats are beautiful and look more sporty than recaro's. Recaro has some ugly ass prints on the seats.
