    mk2 Jetta seats in Fox

    07-08-2004 06:05 PM #1
    I just finished installing those in my Fox. They are Jetta Carat grey leather seats. I installed the front seats and the rear bench. It's a pita to install the rear bench. I had to take the Fox frame and install the leather on it. I'vo done it once and it's the last one. So don't try this at home. Pictures soon.

    Leather seats are excellent!!!

    How much did it set you back ($$$$) or ($)?

    I'd really like to do the same for my fox, even if its just for the front.

    I made one about 6 months ago - and there's no cutting involved. But whatever.

    pics of the rear please. Did you just recover the fox rear with the a2 leather or did you actually put the a2 seat in the fox?
