    Cool GTI Seats in an 08 Maxi Life

    For Info,

    Bought some GTI seats from Oli and he helped me fit them as well. I have heard that it is a straight swap for some Caddies, however, not in my case. Nonetheless a simple mod soon had them fitted with Airbag and seat belt wiring modded to suit, no codes/warnings

    For those considering this mod I highly recomend it. I was surprised at just how much extra comfort and protection they provided from the rough ride. I would not have thought it possible. What I didn't expect was how much extra comfort they provided from lateral support. Whilst they provide good comfortable everyday support they also encourage you to corner a lot harder which for me adds a huge level of fun.

    So there you go, I can't imagine there would be to many better mods you can do to your Caddy.

    P.S. Bought the seats from Oli, great bloke highly recomended

    very nice. I was going to grab some from Oli too but he's a bit far from me. If only I'd make up my mind on whether I want to keep the thing!
    I don't see any pics? what modding was there to do for the plugs?

    Been there, done that. Not a straight swap but hella worth it.

    Also got the seats from Oli.

    Transforms the van, doesn't it?

    hi mate, could you give us more details on the mods? Did you use the original seat bases - and mounted the seat sliders on the Ø20 holes like Preeny did? All the UK guys talk about Touran bases but obviously that's out of the question for us here. I'm waiting for Oli to get back on me - want to do this to both Caddys
    Chris if I get these seats I may need to get you to make me some custom spacers!
