So what would you guys recommend remove seats weld and cut new seats? I don't want to risk a seat falling out!

Definitely. A hairline crack is quite normal but the aluminium has been eroded here. Better safe than sorry!

All the seats have grooves/marks that I won't be able to blend in. The machine work looks like a monkey did it with a spoon, should I go to a vw specialist or will a local machine shop suffice.
