if they're not the real recaro jobs, they are the same, as stated above. there are two types of rear seat back, the comfort seat which is foam and the sport seat which is a sprung potato sack type metal framed job. a fitting kit from a dealer (not expensive) is meant for the latter type and is straight forward to fit. just be very sure where each of the four holes are before stanleying them out... i'd not bother trying to fit them to the foam type, this would be difficult unless you're very patient. some people just poke them between the seat back and the rear shelf but it always looks what it is - a quick and non-thorough job.
