Kevin Bacon 5 Posted February 24, 2011 All OE black leather Recaro interior, gauge pack and mats, all stock as a rock with only addition a BBS period wheel Either there is some camera trickery going on there or they genuinely do look like they've never been sat in?!!! :) How come they've lasted so well without a single crease? I take it this car isn't a daily? :) I don't normally see the big deal with the Recaros but your interior is mintier than mint and looks stunning!

poll250 0 Posted February 24, 2011 Here's a couple of my current interior. Mk3 Golf Colour Concept Recaros I dyed Oxblood red about 15 months ago. Really like the support the upper bolsters give, but the lower is a bit puny (sp?) compared to standard, and the seats sit a bit too high. Quite tempted to go back to standard black leather if a good set comes up. Surely with a bit of work standard leather will look exactly like Recaro? That MJ one does looking amazing though :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Car was a daily at first but in last 2 years has been SORN over winter and is now a summer only toy after all the work i've had done I want to avoid salt laden winter roads. Seats were retrimmed hence the nice tight finish and quality hide Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted February 24, 2011 Well if we are all doing a bit of point scoring here's my totally original recaros, never retrimmed/repaired and been sat in for 194,000miles :D but mine is a £5k corrado not £20k a little wrinkly and shiny but i like it Original steering wheel too :lol: should get some recent pics as i've renewed the gearknob, and fitted a pedal rubber to accelerator Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

harryc 0 Posted February 24, 2011 Are those grey..?? If you don't mind me asking how much was the retrim? Prefer immaculate recaro leather to my cloth recaros from those pics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OSV 0 Posted February 24, 2011 If you don't mind me asking how much was the retrim? Prefer immaculate recaro leather to my cloth recaros from those pics. I'd stick with your cloth which is a superb interior, retrim of seats and door cards is likely to be c £1500 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coullstar 0 Posted March 19, 2011 I cant really see past the standard stuff. I do like the Recaro's from the relative rarity but I found them less comfortable than my standard seats. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
