Good buy for £60 despite the condition, you can probably get them re-trimmed for £150-200 and they will be great

Either that or get some of the recaro tight fitting seat covers which look really smart

Yeah iv stripped one seat down and it was surprisingly easy. I'm just going to get the bolster covers re made and buy new bolster foam.

Fair play for doing it yourself mate, you cant beat a set of Recaro's for comfort & looks

Seen a lovely set of Red JDM EP3 Recaro's on eBay but they want £800 :shock: i'll keep dreaming though

Yeah iv been looking for some for a while but I could never pull myself to buy second hand seats for that kinda money and still have to put more money in to get rails for them. I think it's going to be pretty cheap to do I'm going to see a bloke about making the bolster covers at the beginning of next month :) bolster foam is £30 a side and the centers are easy to refrabic and il do that myself. Glue a thin layer of extra foam myself and stretch new fabric and staple it down :)
