You can see all the other bits he has listed...

Should I tackle this or is it too much bother?

What?

So the fact they state PayPal as an accepted payment means nothing then?

I've been looking at these as well. Good for spares and the complete one would need all the covers and foams swapping on to a 2dr tilting frame so again good for spares if you have a pair of shagged 2dr LS's.

Eugh ... it's alot of messing around!! I'll keep an eye on them.

I emailed the seller yesterday and asked if all the plastic's where included for the drivers side but haven't heard back. I think they are NLA as well

All recaro LS plastics are NLA and infact pretty much all LS parts are NLA.

Yea that would put me of buying a incomplete set. You would never be done chasing unattainable little bits!

I only started to seriously looking for LS houndstooth recaro's on german ebay.

Do they come up very often??

Not very but i would by that mint one and the spares and wait for a f*cked pair to come up then job done. F*cked ones are more common than nice ones.

I would be more tempted if they where the correct frame.

Even if no one else were to bid ... its around 500 euros before the shipping of the seat that is complete.

Then you would be left hunting for the correct frames and if the plastic bits aren't included.

I have a migraine just considering it

Forget Houndstooth, there is no other material known to man that stains, fades and discolours more than this, I used to have to spray a mist of water over the back seat to hide the DNA before picking up my mrs back in the day, it was a right mess...

Strange how the pictures dont show the bits that are likely to be f***ed on the foams/covers....
