You may make more money by doing things such as this:
Pick up some bog standard seats and fit them in your Mk3, Sell the Recaro seats separately.
If these are in good condition they may sell for more money than a standard Mk3.

Standard interiors are dirt cheap ,  even free sometime. The Recaro interior has got to be worth £150 min depending on condition.

Of course,  that was just a minimum for an average condition non heated and non leather Recaro interior.

Bit high on the Recaros there Brad!
Maybe 250 if leather but this I think is a cloth set.
I agree he will make more than £250 if he can put the work in doing the stripping and posting etc.
AND get rid of the shell.

The  seats are the cloth type, they look like the standard black with the bits of colour in them and recaro sown in. I don't think I'll have the time for breaking it.
