> [@Mk4 30R](#): > > its fitting. the original 1976 Mk1 VW GTi had a plaid interior. and VW brought that back with the Mk5 (2006) with the plaid base interior. Exactly. It’s one of those VW kid things. So either I reupholster my seats, or cut the shit out of my car to make MKV seats fit. To be honest, I think it’s more original to have my stock seats reupholstered than to buy seats that are mass produced. Yes, I’m doing plaid in my car. Original, absolutely not. But to make the same comparison many popular “JDM” mods are done more frequently and are not original at all either. Original or not, I think in a red car it will look pretty nice. ---
