They look like they have been done very well but i personally would have had them done as per OEM, ie horizontal.

Leather is OK but cloth trim in mint condition IMO looks better and feels nicer to sit on.

Most E30 cloth trim is worn out which makes a nice change when you see a mint one 8)

I had heating in the original sports seats so I didn't have to retro fit the loom or switches. The trimming company fitted the elements in the recaros.
