Got the chance to buy some Recaro seats, passenger side bolster needs recovering. I can only really get them to fit the style of my car if i got them re trimmed in a black leather or vinyl. Has anyone got any experience of what this would cost or know someone who does. don't know why the word RECARO is all weird on the cloth in the photo, i'v not seen them for real yet. thanks.

Just bought some RS Turbo recaros myself and will be looking to get them retrimmed in leather the same as you are. Any decent place should be able to get all the parts for you (including seat badges and trim) - just as an example, this is a guy local to the north east who does that kind of thing... it might give you an idea on price/finish you can expect:

(especially take a look at the gallery section and the two mkiv/v Escort seats he's done)
I had these Recaro's and the rear seats re trimmed in a period ribbed black velour with vinyl sides for my Sunbeam Lotus .

both look good cheers guys, and about £250 a seat. i'll have a look around my way and try and find someone. thanks.
Mr Tee those seats look the business. Heres two i had retrimmed a few years ago. it cost €350 which was cheap as chips, however I supplied the vinyl, it was an ebay bargain, 10sq meters for €50.

2 seats cost me about 275 about 6 years ago, a guy in bedford did them for me
cracking job
Got the seats back home now, but can't seem to get the headrests out is there some sort of trick to it.
you have to take the backrest apart as there is an r clip that stops the headrest rods from coming outQuote:Originally Posted by blogsy

Autotrim in Waterford Ireland done my seats, im not sure if he's still in business or not. (i had it done in 2008)Quote:Originally Posted by dannybhoy
the seats were from an Alfa 55.
Try Optimise Automotive from Newcastle they specialise in classic mini but will do anything, they gave me a quote for a pair of bucket seats, I think it was around £495.00 the pair any colour combo.
