Recaro: The Recaro Garage - All things Recaro

What do you guys charge for those black vinyl Trophy replacements? Uppers and lowers for 2 seats. I'm thinking about now keeping them in black vinyl instead of cloth, to match the black vinyl/grey cloth door panels I have. PM me with a price.

Sent IM - should have a build for a set of recaro srd/speeds within the next week if anyone is interested

has anyone installed the gti A3 recaro seat into an E30? I'm figuring out how to make a bracket for the seat

[a2coupe2a]

Pic of said recaro? were they imported from europe? Because we never got them here..

Either way the mk3's didnt get a "real" recaro. It was a hybrid recaro made specifically for the mk3. So if it is a genuine mk3 recaro your best bet would be to cut the feet, re-enforce the base and run an e30 mount with a generic slider. Honestly it would be much easier and more cost effective to sell them and get a set of power ls's (mk2 vw recaros)

here's the pics.. sorry for the crappy iphone pics :) yeah i was thinking of cutting the legs and make a new base that can be adapt to the oem slider.. any suggestions?

[a2coupe2a]

why not sell them and get mk2 recaros? Those are worth way more.. with the money you make you could nearly cover having the mk2s recovered.

Check these out! Actually going up for sale (PM offers until post goes up in classifieds) Discoloration from shotty wipe down, still a little moist in areas. I still need to go over them real good and make them shine like new

Ok guys, I'm some what new to the whole BMW things but I've always loved Recaro seat's like the Classic C with the automatic control buttons. I would love to get a set but I don't know where to look for them or how much a a set would cost me. I'm on a serious budget cause I lost my job a couple of months ago but I still have 2 cars that I am trying to put back to gether one of which is my 90 325i. I never new about this forum. this is the most I've ever seen folks talk about Recaro seats ever!

expect to spend between 500 for a thrashed set to 2k for a recovered set. I have three sets and i would be willing to sell one but couldnt sell them cheap.

you could get an easy 5-600 out of them.

a2coupe2a, I might be picking up some Recaros from an Alfa Milano Verde, do you guys have jackets for them?

[Massive Lee]

Indeed. $500 for each of them if in proper cared condition.

[GMbimmerBoy]

Wow $500 and up a seat depending on the condition they're in! Well I guess I need to start saving up cause I really want to get some for my 325i and my other project car. Man I think I need to hurry up and find 2 jobs! lol

[gilera_200]

Does anybody know where I can find all the plastic cover especially the side covers?

yes those are traditional gen 2 recaro LS's. You can see a build we did for that exact seat here..
