    Recaro seats

    Did someone on here buy the grey leather Recaro seats on eBay there now with
    6 seconds to go until the auction closed?

          Out of interest, does anyone know a ballpark cost to repair that sort of damage so that it was as good as new?

            I got quoted ÂŁ80-100 using my own material or they will use the leather from the rear of the seat and replace that with leather substitute.

                Looking forward to seeing them fixed up. I had been watching them to get a handle on the going rate for value.

                    Dropping these seats off to theses guys on Friday



                    They come recommended. Already spoke to them the options are repair and dye or full recover.

                    Got to fit the heated elements to them first, any tips on that would be good.

                    I like the coupe/cab head rests but my avant rear ones wont match could do with a second set for the rear.

                            Dilemma

                            I really like the coup/cab head rests but they don't match the avant rear.
                            I'm leaning toward trying to source a similar head rest to fit the rear of the avant i.e. without a big hole in.

                            Thoughts?
