Can anyone identify these recaros? They came in a touring I just bought but I can't find them online. I'm not sure if they're official BMW ones or just random ones chucked on some E30 runners.

Sorry for the bad pictures, they were rushed, will get some better ones on the weekend when I get the car home :D

Ahh i thought they might have been the RS2000 mk5 ones as they seem to be a common one in E30's but i couldn't quite find a picture that matches them. Either way they're ruined, the bottom of the drivers seat has completely fallen through and they're in pretty bad condition. I will get full pictures when i take them out at the weekend and ill see if they're any good :?

They are 100% fiesta mk3 rs turbo seats
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

From the pics it's not that bad, maybe a ford forum can help with info on fabric a decent trimmer could sort that out perhaps?

Unless the frames rotten or twisted its still worth something ...

The rear bench looks to be very good condition but drivers seat had been infilled with polystyrene to keep it up to height, i guess ill see how bad they are at the weekend. On another note, anyone want to buy some recaros on E30 runners? :wink:
