   The airbag is in the seats and it makes it look much more better.

   completely upto you, youll most likely come across non airbagged more than airbagged as they are in the newer GTI's and more sought after

   I think the air bagged ones are much nicer, more chunkyer, look more modern and give more support however a lot of people will disagree with me.

   hmmm decisions decisions im thinking the easiest way to go would be just to look in general and concentrate on the look as in i wouldn't be gullible enough to buy a messed up air bagged interior over a mint lookin non, also... can anyone give me quotes on getting it put in.. i doubt i'll have the time???

   Puttin git in will be fairly easy actually. They are just a straight swap, so take a few screws out for each off the front seat, take the seats out and reverse. And then the Back seat is taking it out and swapping.
