Just inquired about the cost of 1 recaro

[Erm]

From Honda... as I want a new drivers side seat to get the interior back to as new condition and mint condition blue recaros are as rare as unicorn shit.

£2187 + vat per seat

:xaiweb6:

Crazy

you thought about refurbishing them? i know capital seating have done some red ones for dc2's its worth asking if they can get hold of the blue material

Can't get the blue material unfortunately...... its a honda specific colour that Recaro don't sell seperately. Capital seating can only get the ford colour blue alcantara interior. Its a lighter colour that I don't really like, and would have to have both seats done to match, which is a shame as my passenger seat is mint as barely sat in.

Yeah tried him, told him to let me know if a good set comes up as he only sells in pairs, but want something in mint condition.

Wanna stick to the OEM Recaros really as I like them.

edit: currently watching this ebay auction... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DC5-Recaro-Seats-Blue-/261303076383?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3cd6e0861f

but the drivers side one is starting to go like my current one is. If I am feeling adventurous I might buy these, use the passenger side one to replace my drivers side one and refurb the 2 old drivers side seats as a project.

 

[DC5RS]

True, prefer the OEM as well.

How about getting them refurbished in black? Ok it's not the blue but black seats look great in blue tegs.

Could you not get hold of a mint passenger recaro as most will probably barely sat in and change the bolsters over?

Edit- sorry didnt see your post regards the above.

I love the blue interior so not really an option for me, plus have the blue carpet and blue mats andblue door inserts so would be a bit odd with black seats

Looking like the most likely course of action

Not really as your back seats are black. I have red seats in my CW and swap between red and black carpets when the mood takes me. Personal preference I guess.

Back seats are normally always covered with a blue fleece and my dogs crate on top so don't see them much, but they did used to bug me being black before I got my dog

I've given up with trying to get a decent set of Blue Recaro's.

Both mines have wear on the drivers side bolster as they were swapped side to side by a previous owner.

I'm just going to put new bolsters in them and live with it. Thought about changing the bolster covers on the bottom and back for black one, so leaving the inserts blue but dunno how that would look.

Shame he's doesn't have 2 of these for sale....

Food for thought, although not just yet.
