Default Recaro's now fitted

Had to wait a few weeks for stock and delivery but well chuffed
Big thanks to mechanic Glen at Revolution for doing a cracking job fitting them and to boss man Glenn and Keith for the lifts to and from work today,top notch service as always
Just needs a damn good clean inside now








cheers

Can the driving position be altered at all? I guess sliding fore and aft, but what about tilt?

I actually quite like them to be honest.

hi mate

yeah just slide no tilt
they sit a fair bit lower than the oe seats but once I adjusted my mirrors and rake on the steering wheel overall the driving postion feels very comfortable and supportive

cheers

I'd be worried in case I couldn't see over the top of the steering wheel once they were fitted... wouldn't look so cool with cushions
