What seat shape is it?
Later cabs have the different shape from early.
VW may still have the later ones as I bougt 2 a year or two ago.
Not cheap £70.00 ish each.
I did a how too in the how to section showing how I did mine.
Seat refurb , I called it.
You can swap the foams from passenger to drivers as they are the same.
But personally I see little benefit as the foam deteriorates anyway and your still putting in old foam do you could end up doing the same job twice.
If the seats are early ones and I haven't tried this myself, but have thought about it is would a later one from a polo 6N work? The seat shape looks very similar.
Would it be worth a trip and a couple of quid from the scrappers to get one to try?
Just a couple of thoughts.

Tink, if you want a later seat foam base I have a set of seats you can have for £30 collected. Drivers foam had it but passengers very good. Pretty sure they are the same either side. + you get the rest.

I took this number off a base dated 14/10/88 …… 191 881 375d
I'd like to know if it's the same as an 'early' one please.
