__Andy__ 0 Posted January 3, 2008 ok ill ellaborate a bit more, have found a set comprising of front and rear seats and door cards. in good nick, leather looks a lil bit worn/cracked on bolsters but ive seen worse. its for sale at £500, which imo is a tad expensive. what are other peoples thoughts on this and what do you think would be a good offer? cheers andy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ADZ_VR6 0 Posted January 3, 2008 it seems to be the going rate does £500, seen good condition go on e bay for £700 + you'll be lucky to get any for less than that i think Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tonedef 8 Posted January 4, 2008 And the best bit about buying seats from a left hooker is that the right side seat is going to have had less wear than one from a right hooker. That recaro set looks a steal, I paid almost that just for the front seats in grey leather. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

__Andy__ 0 Posted January 4, 2008 im sure it is a recaro interior but there arent any markings on it? is it 3corsameal thats got the black recaros? am sure his seats have the recaro name embossed into the seat...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted January 4, 2008 yeah the recaros have two tilt levers on each seat and the logo is stamped in, like my avatar >>>>>> not sure if they made other types though, just going by what i have also i've found the storm seats always seem more worn than recaros, is it a different leather?

vwdeviant 0 Posted January 4, 2008 And the best bit about buying seats from a left hooker is that the right side seat is going to have had less wear than one from a right hooker. Yup but on the down-side the early ones have the double switch hole on the wrong side! So you'd need to locate Door trims from a RHD.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You could get away with one door trim as the new driver's side hole needs making bigger. It's not impossible to fit the single switch in the double hole and then make it good, or how about fitting a double switch both sides? Nothing's impossible and to get genuine corrado recaros for that kind of money is such a result that a bit of remedial work on the doorcards is nothing in my view.

BILLCOR 1 Posted January 4, 2008 The non recaro, standard black ones look in great condition for the money, have you asked them how much shipping is gonna cost? if not, why not :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

__Andy__ 0 Posted January 4, 2008 have asked how much postage will be on both sets. door cards may be a real issue, i know you could fit two double window switches but what about the mirror switches?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

__Andy__ 0 Posted January 4, 2008 These are VERY minor issues that would need very little mods, stop dithering :lol: i agree with what your saying. im just trying to justify buying it when in honesty i need the respray more... by the time its posted would be looking at around £800 which i can accept is a good price for what it is, i just dont think i can really spend that kind of money on an interior that i dont really need... it makes sense to me :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
