my96 interior is getting a bit tired and am looking at the options........

1. retrim existing interior

2. replace existing with better condition (stick with v2 or go newer???)

3. aftermarket (would love brides but ££££'s)

4. anyone fitted seats from different car???

 

Recaro A8s



Last one I saw on ebay went for £108. I was tempted to buy it even though I haven't got anything to put it in

 

v nice

have you seen the write up for the golf they're in???? v impressive!!!

I dont think i have posted these pictures before.

Sparco prodive seats.

 

Got these but would love some better & lighter ones

 

Heres mine.

 

This is interesting. What's the cost of putting a set of Recaros - something for road use, no electrics into a Classic?
Can you get material to retrim the rears to match?

 

Fitted these in mine:



As g7prs don't think i've posted these before either!

There are the carbon gias brides on ebay for £795 or offers

NEW BRIDE GIAS RACING SEATS CARBON EDITION WITH RAIL on eBay, also Seats Seat Customisation, Interior Styling, Car Tuning Styling, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 03-Feb-09 18:20:38 GMT)

 

Nice seats! But £795 each!

 

Seat........

 

my standard sti seats on my 05 are too uncomfortable, i want something sporty and comfortable, how much are the recaros?

 

Recaro speed seats...

Circa £700.00 for the pair, brand new.

Seat rails though are £300 the pair..






Rears trimmed to match..





I think the material for the rear seats was about £300 ish IIRC..

 

some nice seats there

 

looks like whatever i do will cost a pretty penny.........................

 

That is a lovely job. Did you do the rear seat yourself?
How do they compare to the original seats?

 

I have these if you're interested in seats.

Very good condition, were in the car for around 30k miles.



Matching passenger/driver seat, and also have rears too.


Before you decide what you're going to get, if you're interested in bucket/harness set up I'd strongly suggest using a car with them in first to see what they are like. I have this in my car and drive to/from events but its very compromised, even changing the stereo settings (when I had one) was a PITA. Plus if you have any 'large' friends/family they probably won't fit in the bucket seats. A normal belt with a CG lock will suffice for most applications.

Thanks Simon,

I got Recaro UK to trim the rear seat, although you can just get the material from them on its own.

The seats are head and shoulders above the OEM ones.

 

Got this pair on adjustable frames from eBay for a bargain £186 delivered!



Now in the race car:

 

They look Great Squizz

 

Catalunya interior in mine

 

I saw those go on ebay ages ago

They look really good

 

This may sound daft but how does rear legroom compare to the original set-up.

 

Standard seats retrimmed in leather





£850 the lot - three and a half years ago.

 

Just the same......I think...


TBH, I never sit in the back, nor have done in a std one, so I couldn't honestly say...
