Title: Picked up a set of front recaros :)
Post by: jnufcuk on 16 October 2011, 15:12
Picked up a set of front recaros for a decent price yesterday. Bolsters seem fine with no holes or rips in the fabric.

They were a bit mucky so given them a quick clean and hoover today before either hiring a rugdoctor or fitting them and then getting the car professionaly valted?

Opions on which one to do?

Here the pics before and after:

Still need a bit of tlc but better then they were  :grin:

What if i did want to freshen the bolster up, is it easy to do? and where do you get the foam from?

Thanks

p.s. a set of front sports seats (same colour) will be up for sale (one member has first dibs as they contacted me ages ago)
