Hey you two :s :). It is a custom colour :p.

I have ordered pieces from those guys in the UK and also can recommend a retrimmer. It was cheaper to get the material from overseas last time I checked. To do the whole seat will probably be in the order of $500-600 a seat front I would have thought.

Let me know if you want the guys details George and I will PM them to you.

Yeah, Sttich is right, these guys are the Genuine thing, retailer and authorised repairer of recaros in Melb, if you go anywhere else, you may as well not have a recaro!!

That is one of the funniest things I have ever heard. So if you have tein shocks which need to be rebuilt (ie lets say just needs new oil) and you get them done at a local mechanic you might as well throw them away? Just because you are replacing the fabric doesnt make it any less "recaro".

Calm down man, sorry i hurt your feelings!!

What I am saying is if you get a recaro fixed by joe dodgy down the road, then you may not get the same quality of materials that you would from a reg'd Recaro repairer/retrimmer, so yes, if you had tein shocks filled with cheap k-mart oil, then yes you mite AS well throw them out, not saying that the mechanic is no good, but if you use inferior materials then the final product can come out badly!!

Maybe i should have said that if you are going to get it retrimmed at some dodgy joint, then you mite aswell throw an AXS seat cover over it!
