VW Polo Mk1 Bucket Seat Guide
The VW Polo MK1 (75-81)...
The VW Polo has been the sporty, lighter brother to the Golf from the original Mk1 through to the latest variation. We love the Polo as a great handling hot hatch. Once you start using your VW Polo for fast road and track use, you’ll soon realize just how much you need new bucket seats to provide more support.
On cornering, you may find your self holding onto the steering wheel tighter than usual, tensing your thighs and legs against the central console and/or door card. You’ll probably find your weight shifting in the seat and having to re-position your self after the corner.
None of this is correct. Your seat should provide the right level of support so that you can grip the steering wheel only for steering, your legs should be supported and your weight shouldn’t shift around. The recommendations we provide are to ensure that you feel comfortable and supported allowing you to focus on the job at hand.
We’ve worked closely with our customers to create our VW Polo Mk1 seat guide.
The resulting recommendations are based on previous customer car installations.
Recommended Brackets:
We recommend these pieces of installation equipment so successfully install the side-mounted bucket seats or base-mounted recliners we suggest in our guide.
- Our OMP frame doesn’t feature a seat belt mount as it’s more designed towards motorsport use, where it needs to be paired with a racing harness.
- Our Corbeau sub-frame features a seat belt mount, perfect for daily use or track day use where drivers can use their factory seat belt and have the option to use a racing harness at the same time.
- Our Corbeau and OMP frames use a 345mm wide bolt pattern used on all standard-sized side-mounted bucket seats, with the additional wider 405mm bolt pattern only featured on the OMP frame for XL bucket seats.
- We can only recommend base-mounted Cobra bucket seats or sports recliners with the Cobra sub-frame, as they all share the same 291mm wide bolt pattern that isn’t used by other brands.
