Recaro sports seats are pretty sought after I believe.

Sweet, because they're in mine! Haha They are super comfy but I do require some parts for it like the spring that holds the leg extension bit..

Shouldnt be too hard to source.. the frame, mechanisms, look like normal sports seats.. Stick an ad in the wanted section once you determine what you need.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm sure in my old iS the extension was extended via a triangular knob, these are on like a ratchet system where you lift them up and drop into a cut out section with a heavy spring holding it tight.. am I right in my first statement as iS seats are sports ones..?

Seats aren't my fortay.. but if you search around for recaro parts, either on the wanted ad, or on ebay, I'm sure you'll find something.

If you ever decide to sell the car, you'd be mad not to swap the interior for regular sports, comfort seats.. and then sell these separately. Keeping them in there wont get you any more money for the car as a whole.Bigbenstrikes wrote:I don't think I shall be parting of them anytime soon but if I do it will be with the rest of the car!

Why thank you sir!
It looks pretty cool but as per usual it needs some attention behind the scenes! These bodykits dont half cause ussues with rusty bits!
Good idea with the seat swapping actually! Never even thought!

There's a few on here with those seats, and no one is letting go of any spares they have.
Mitchen, I have acquired a few rare gems over the years, latest acquisition was a set of staggered Alpina wheels, 3 x 8j's and 3 x 7j's.

How much for the whole interior as the rears are the same with a ski hatch, arm rest and more made for 2 people than 3! Quite a high raised center and back mid section of the rears.

Blue cab man will know more about priced but I'd say up to 1k maybe more if they super mint

Must be your pension policy Rav.. buy up as many as possible and sell them on for a vastly inflated price when you hit your 50'sRav335uk wrote:Mitchen, I have acquired a few rare gems over the years, latest acquisition was a set of staggered Alpina wheels, 3 x 8j's and 3 x 7j's.

You won't be getting anywhere near £1k for those seats in cloth. You would if they were leather.

Ignore what I said I don't know rav335 will but they got to be worth shit loads more as a percentage than the standard sports interior

Looking nice, those seats are in good condition so would go for around £750+ easily. There is a set of full Leather high backs on eBay at the moment with a rear bench for £1,750 a˜³
