the quality claims to be second to none he says, these are what his supplier supplies to vw and he even retrims the dealership in and around warrington so.... question is that he says ure recaros are either beige or creme am usure which one they are he said he can check by gettign the vin number but am at work so was wonderign if any of u guys wud know

You could probably buy an entire set for that price!!  Get some R32 seats instead!!

Only problem with the R32 seats is he'd have to change the door cards, glove box, all the lower dash and hand brake surrounds which would cost £1500+++

yeah i probably could buy a second hand set for that much but whats the point there gonna be shagged so am gonna be no better off the whole point was to get them lookign new ave doen research and between 600 and 700 is normal for the front two to be re done... i dont think theres is anyone within 2hrs drive of me who can do it for less than that

atleast they will be brand new finish and not used ..

yeah after a sensible look i thought mite aswell leave them as there not that bad the passengers side was in pretty decent theres only one bit on the drivers seat which is hard to describe but if u can imagien the right side that sticks up where u park ure arse its just that stretch otherwise i think there good for a while , think it was justa  rush of blood lol yeah i saw the ones in classified when i got the bonnet off him there nice they just need a day or two cleanign them up
