New seats purchased recaro :D

[Charlton]

Well I seem to have bought 3 differnt seats for my. Car first these but then decided they wasn't what I wanted



Then for some reason I bought these just for abit of comfort instead of the hard standard seats but then I changed my mind finding a differnt set


But these are my new seats which I'm pretty happy with Could do with a tidy up but think will suit the car a lot more




I know they are not too tidy but nothing a retrim won't fix. Not sure what they are out of he says e24 They seem a hard seat to find

[nas80]

aye they are much nicer then the other ones you had, I think they are the correct ones, well they look very similar to mine anyway

[uwbuurman]

They look like type 1 e24 seats. Those are the same as e21 recaros, so you did great! But that frame they're on looks like home made.

[Charlton]

Yea I think he said he put the in a mk1 golf for abit so wrong runners but the looked about right for my car
I probably paid over the odds for them. What are a set worth

[E21noob]

Now you're talking! These will look great, especially after a tidy up.

They are expensive, no question. Pretty safe investment though. What did you pay? I would happily pay £500 or more for a pair, depending on condition. But over here supply is extremely low.

Get in touch with aardvark racing for parts and the correct console/runners/frame for the E21, as well as replacement knobs and levers. Should be able to find new stickers on ebay

Thanks for the links I will get on them and purchase a few bits, well maybe £200 wasn't too exspensive then hope they not in worse nick then in the picture

[E21noob]

Bargain at 200 imo

[Charlton]

That's oright then I just jumped in and offerd him that not knowing a lot about them seems to have paid off for me

[Jeroen]

Wow well done sir! Good deal and great upgrade!

[Charlton]

Cheers I carnt wait to get them home and see what the real condition is

[Charlton]

I got them home not to bad and had the colour stripped and recoloured but very happy with the seats

[Jeroen]

Oh yeah they look wonderful! Now I want to see what they look like when fitted!

[Charlton]

It could be a while before I get that far, got carpet to dye, dash to fit n want all my windows back in before they are fitted

[uwbuurman]

Great look!

[E21noob]

Nice.
