I know a few people who have put MK3 leather seats in MK2 GTI and even in a MKI GTI. MKI and MK2 seats are completely compatible (from my understanding). To put MK3 seats in a MKII (or a MKI for that matter) your going to have to cut the outside arm (by outside arm I mean LEFT arm on the driver's side and the RIGHT arm on the passenger's side). You can either chop off the extra metal or you can just slide the arm into the correct spot and re-weld the arm in place. It doesn't look to hard but I'm sure that any VW tuning shop in your area will know how to do it.
There's trick you can do to tighten the bolsters on MK3 leather seats... Get those tie-down straps with tightening cranks (the straps they use to tie down loads in pickup trucks), place telephone books (either white or yellow pages) on both sides of the seat bolsters, wrap the tie-down straps around the seats (over the telephone books placed on the blsters) and begin cranking. My friend brought the bolsters in by 1.5". I don't know if you can use the same procedure to tighten the bolsters on the later style GTI/GLI Recaros. Mark Reda. Just my $.02, but I think they don't need any adapting? I think they will fit right in. I was looking at getting a pair of A3 seats awhile back and the mountings/measurements for the track looked the same to me...
