Recaro Seats

[simon20vq]

So I bought these to go in my S2.
Gave 60 quid for the pair but they need recovering eventually (might gaffer tape for now)
Looking for a little advise when it comes to recovering.
Intend to buy the leatherette stuff to cover them but have any of you guys done something similar in the past?
Few hints and tips please?

Yes its very easy to do, the seats come apart easily, just use the old material as templates to make the new covering.
Good time to fit heated seat elements, the bases are very easy to make brackets to fit to stock seat bases.
Also check ebay if you require any new bolsters etc, always new there. The lower base section will almost 100% be showing signs of the foam needing replacement but its cheap and easy.

Cool thanks Pete, that is sort of what I thought but do I need to stitch down the center of the bolsters? Ill refill bases if they need it. Thanks

there out of an Escort mk4 ltd edition cabriolet,

Recaros strip very easily and plenty of shagged ones to chop up for spares
