My mornings work - swapping seat base

[Rhyso]

took a couple of hours but well worth the effort

look at the difference!

yeah i was really surprised at just how much the old seat base had broken up!!

there are metal bars underneath the side supports so i guess years of getting in an out of the car causes the foam to rub against the metal before finally breaking down

for anyone with Recaro's interested the part number is

1JO 881 375 P and retail is £53.54 but i got 10% so it cost me £48.19 - not cheap but well worth it if your base has seen better days

Really good work - fancy helping me do mine? 

Its a common thing you get little bits of foam appear under the seat - recaro termites

I'm lucky that the foam of my seats still feels to be in great condition, I just need to replace my heating element!!

Good work though Rhyso
