those borbet type c's are easily one of the best looking wheels on a e30.
good shit.

Nice looking ride

They are more rare than leatherette, real leather, and some might argue even rarer than houndstooth. But, this plaid is certainly OEM. I've seen it on a handful of NA spec E30s from 318iC to 325iS

My car is originally black leatherette, but I got both front plaid seats from a Japanese-spec 320i Cabrio:

Ok. It's not a problem.

They're still cool and comfortable for non-Recaro seats.

BTW I never saw other seats like them on the web. They must be pretty rare ?

The PO told me they are Recaro. Did he lies to me ?

PO pic. I'll take more pics before winter storage.

u has been lied.

They looked like normal "is" seats that have been clothed in a plaid-like material (very similar to the Interlagos cloth found on MkV GTI's.) They look great, but certainly not Recaros from the looks of it.

Looks great man, I figured this car would turn out pretty hot after seeing some of your previous rides.

BTW, that "OEM Recaro interior" thing with 318is/325is cars is a fallacy unless the seats have been added later on.

Great looking car!

OEM Recaro interior? Pics?

[Jim Lepage]

I took some pics of my car tonight but didn't find my copy of CS2 so I saved them in jpeg via Microsoft RAW Image Viewer and played with them. I'll post some artsyless pics later.
