I'm very interested in this topic as well. Anyone?

 

Very good question I always wondered how they match the material after it fades a bit?

ive done that before with a pair of old gsr seats...i wrapped them in black suede and red stitching like usdm itr's.. they were awesome.. and comfy.. but these are recaros now that i have.. not gsr's...its a whole new ball game lol... its hard to find shops that can re-stitch the recaro logo.. something i really really do not want to loose.

i've tried searching online for replacement covers from recaro but to no luck i have found nothing

 

this place sells recaro replacement upholstrey and what not but its in the uk...worth while checking out though

I'm interested also.

 

someone did this on here a while ago...restored some beat up recaros...there is a thread on it here somewhere.

 

a lot of vw guys go through Recaro restoration/reupholstering.

i'll look for pics.

that was a pretty good link but sucks that its all the way in the UK. im trying to find someone un the USA that can provide the same service... its really hard to beleive recaro does not offer this type of thing.

 

bump for more opinions...

last night how ever i did get an email from capital seating in the UK. here is what they said...

Many thanks for your enquiry. We can supply a number of service covers however buying a cover set for the entire seat would be very expensive. The cheapest option would be for you to send the seat to Auto-Trim Systems, our trim division. They will be able to offer whatever service you require.

If this is of interest to you I suggest you contact Peter Swann on 0116 266 4128. He will be able to advise you on the materials we have available and an estimate to the cost.

Kind regards

Steve

from them for responding so fast and good info im in the USA and they are in the UK... im gonna cry lol

 

bump for more info

 

uh i got on the park and ride bus at school and the bus driver was sitting on a recaro seat

damn i need to snap a cell phone pic

 

The shipping on that is going to be killer.Some one I know had it done let me pm him and see if he can chime in.

I do know that the recaro emblem is going to be next to impossible to get done for a reasonable price.

REcaro just doesnt make car seats
they do buses, planes etc etc

I sat in some fancy recaros when I flew on Midwest last summer

 

the fact of re upholstery doesnt bother me since i've done it before. but these are recaros and pretty old and i'd hate to take away the nestalgia from them.. but if it has to be done ill do it

the hardest thing would be having the logo restitched onto new fabric... i've see machines that do it and they come out nice for other stuff but i would prefer something almost if not exact in stitch style cuz the minute someone looks at it they are gonna say they are fake in which case.. they are not.

 

I would think they could match it up pretty good but the last time I tried to get it done it was in the ballpark of 200-250 per seat and thats kinda crazy seeing that you can probably pick up a better condition seat for a few hundred more and it will be almost new.The price can vary i am sure depending what part of the country you are in but it isnt going to be 50 bucks anywhere I believe.

i just got the pics of the seats ill be trying to save and ill be posting them up later today.. they arent that bad but defenitely need alot of love..

wow those seats where shot lol. post after pics!

 

Great topic. I almost think it would be worth spending $900 on a mint set than trying to fix a set like that. In for the after pics. You may be on to something....

 

Good thread, but i have no idea where to get materials. GL with the hunt though.

 

those pics are from 07 . apparently its taking a while to get the material in stock.

 

^^LOL
