theyoungeone Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 hi guys i have a nice set of Recaro's in my supra, which are realy nice, just dont like the colour that much. BUT i want to do one of either two things. 1: re-cover them in red cloth, like in the picture of the single red seat. 2: swap the seats for some black or cream leather seats so if any one knows where id be able to get them re done then please let me know, or if any one would be interessed in swaping their leathers for some race recliners. please speak up or for ever hold your peace ! ! !

jamesmark Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 If its OEM leather seats be prepared as they fetch in the region of £500 second hand, so you would need to probably put money towards the swap too. My leathers will be up for sale soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Don't know about cloth.. If it was me I would get them re-trimmed in Leather and these are the people who would be doing it. http://www.gandbtrimming.co.uk/home.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually thought they were not real ones as not got the usual Recaro logo on the seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James i cant see why they fetch so much, i have seen on three seperate occasions, 2 uk spec leathers in very good conditions (creame) with front and rear fetch £380, and recently J spec fronts £320 again in very good nick. Maybe once upon a time thats how much they fetched, you can get OEM made leathers made to fit for Supra seats front and rears for £400 and thats genuine leather, brand new.

Guest mk47 Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 basically what i meant was - if you want some of those red buckets makro sell those for £129 with both subframes and they recline etc. that was for the buyer as i thought this would be a cheaper option than to re trim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Past sales and advice from well respected traders on here advise that for a quick sale you can get £400 for OEM. Recently on ebay.co.uk a set went for £360, a full set of cream which i think is less desirable went for over £600, Paul E sold a set recently fronts only for around £500 and i am only talking a matter of weeks not months. It always falls down to if someone wants them they will pay the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theyoungeone Posted June 22, 2006 Author Share Posted June 22, 2006 hey guys, the seats are real recaros, its just the picture i had taken didnt get the logo, ive got a receipt some where from the last owner to had them put in. il have a look at those websites for re-trims and see what they can do.

Lewis Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 OEM seats are VERY expensive and IMHO I think they should be, an excellent seat in a good trim with loads of longevity. Worth every penny if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
