Sorry if this has been addressed before but do all the grays and trophies tilt forward or only the GTI versions?

Selling these LX-A's right now if anyone is interested.

Those would be AWESOME for someone that still has a tan interior.

BTW, I just picked up that pair of Recaro Trophys pictured above. :up:

Legit or Fake?

I've been looking around Recaro's site and I can't seem to find these anywhere.. I company (out of Atlanta) is selling them as legit SRD's on eBay:

AHHHHhhh... I see what they did there..

AHHHHhhh... I see what they did there..

Still pretty nice seats though. I'm sure they're not of the same quality but they're a half-decent fake.

[Jand3rson]

The stitching on those looks like it was done in the dark by a drunk kid.

The stitching on those looks like it was done in the dark by a drunk kid.

Okay, they're a bit dodgy, looking at the logo the whole 'recaro' name is smashed together. and the top of the insert is kind of off. Yeah not worth $300.

[a2coupe2a]

fake i actually know the person in china who makes those. I actually have some fake srds here right now. Check out the sweet sticker hidden behind the insert. Guy bought them advertised as real and brought them to us to recover... he wasnt too happy when i told him the news.

[a2coupe2a]

Also guys look how wavy the stitching is. Recaro might screw up every now and then but they arent going to put out a seat that looks like a drunk person did the french stitch.

[a2coupe2a]

I also have that insert material here now.. it feels like an effing burlap sack. Thats why we just made pillows out of it. Pretty much wasted my money buying 2 yards of it.

I'm selling a Recaro rear seat/bench from a Mk.II GTi if anyone is interested.

Anyone know what seat this is and if it works in e30s? Suspecting it's out of an e21 but not sure...

[Massive Lee]

Looks like an L-Serie Recaro. The e21 Recaros didn't have a Recaro script. The early e21 had vinyl Recaros and there was a BMW logo on the side. But the seat in the picture could have been installed in an e21, providing it has the proper adapters.

The seat pictured will work in an e30 with the correct adapters.
