Is there a diff in non-Recaro leathers?

[8vMatt 1]

Hi guys,

 

I've been looking at various leather interiors recently to buy. I looked at one that was exactly like I was expecting, a standard leather seat with regular height bolsters etc. But I've just bought an interior that I was told came out of a Storm. Very nice condition but unless my memory was playing tricks on me, the bolsters seemed to be a lot deeper than the other seat. The bolster was almost straight up and square in profile where the other one was really rounded in shape. Sorry for the rambling on, I can get a pic later on for you.

 

I didn't think there was a difference in leather that wasn't a Recaro seat until now, I could well be wrong as normal though!

well they are either standard or recaro's, no other seat was fitted mate so maybe the bolsters have been repaired and a different bolster was used??

 

get a pic up mate

Thats how I saw it, standard or Recaro. I must be going mad then. Not told about any repair work, seller said they came out of a low mileage Storm. It is a proper Corrado seat as the VW sticker underneath says so. I'll get a pic as soon as I can. Cheers Karl.

There is no differential in seats, only gearboxes.

maybe from a passat? a picture may help understand the difference better.

 

Ive heard some people bend the bolster frames in more to make a snugger fit, this may explain yours being upright but not sure why yours are a different profile.

Sorry should have put that the sticker underneath does say Corrado.

 

I'm holding my sleeping baby boy at the moment, once he wakes up I'll get a pic or two. Maybe the first seat I saw was knackered and the bolster worn down out of shape?

Here we go, now I've looked at them again, they do look standard. Just differernt from the first lot of seats I looked at. Very happy with the condition of them, will be fitted very soon and the Audi Recaro's going.

Yep, shows how shagged the other seat was, to look so different from this one to question myself :bonk:

They didn't look this good in the ebay advert.

Don't forget, this is a passenger seat. No wear to that bolster. But it does look fresh to me also. You never know. There is a slight grazing wear to the drivers bolster, I've seen many that are worse though.
