    Bargain of the year?

    Came home this evening and sat down in front of the telly with laptop on, well my lap. Facebooking checking other stuff and so on. On Facebook there is a page that people in my local area sell car related stuff, usualy chav cr4p and other junk. A women put an add in saying "Recaro interior, grey leather from Audi 80" So i commented saying "I am not sure you have a Recaro leather interioir as AFAIK the standard 80 never had them only Cabs, Coupés and S/RS2. But hey, if you have got one i am interested" So she sent me a pic and sure enough it was a genuine Recaro grey leather interior. Looked like RS2 seats but not exactly the same... They are electric, but lower bolsters and quite as high and he power buttons are on the sides, not on the fronts. No rips, tears or worn out bolsters. To be honest a good clean up and they will be almost mint! So, i asked her what she wanted and she said. Well 500skr or best offer for front and rear seats and rear side bolsters, headrests. 500skr is £44... I couldnt belive it! Jumped in the car and ****** got them! Chuffed as a bleedin´ whistle i am now! Ill post some pics tomorrow and see if anyone knows what seats they actually are.

    Cheers

        Jammy Git !

        Seriously though its great when things like this happen and people (me included ) manage to acquire bits for our cars at a fraction on the true value !

        Fair play I will will wait for your pics to drool over !
        Mmmmm ! Recaro's
        For what this cost me so far I could have bought an S2

          Best part is, i already have a set in the car... Black leather and grey alcantara. But as my interior was completley grey i have been worried about the rear seat. So now i have got to find a grey rear bench and backrest in leather for a coupé.

                They actually are .. Don't know what was on my mind, they are from an avant and not a sedan as i wrote.

                    Lovely to see someone have a great stroke of luck. Well done. Could it be that Facebook has a use?
