I have a pair of grey recaros in my capri but they don't suit the black interior. Also I stupidly, matt black rattle can in hand, decided to do a 'retrim' and Ive probably cocked them up properly now!! Anyone know a good place to get a pair of recling 'bucket' seats or similar? They need to be cheap, had a scout about google but they all seem to be over £100 each not including posting and subframes and don't really want to spend so much! They must be black and preferably not vinyl as I want them to be comfy. Second hand would be fine if anyone scruffy ones knocking about? What do you guys run in yours?

I'm looking for a pair of seats for the Sunny at the moment,.. want FIA approved bucket/racing seats though,.. but cash is tight,.. which makes searching fun. Maybe I'll just go for a couple of cheap ones for the time being and then get the proper items when I go racing/hill climbing. I don't need reclining ones, making my car even more impractical  |

I've got a pair of Toyota MRT RoadSter recliners in red with a black 'mesh' overlaid centre (factory trim) for sale - nice flat runners, and I'm only after £80 FOR the pair. They're in really nice condition, with just a couple of little grubby marks which will easily clean off...

why don't you just recover yours? if you know anyone handy with a sewing machine its not hard, Recaros come apart really easy and the material allready on them will make your patterns, you get to choose how they look then as well and you wont need much material, if you can get unpaid labour (mum/sister/granny/sweatshop) you'll get em both done for a days work and 40 quid or so for material.

Popuptoaster, Ive considered retriming them local company charge over £100 per seat, Id really like to do it myself but havent got a clue about sewing or even how they come apart, as in, how the material comes off.. Have you done it before?

If they don't need to be in tag then you can usually get them cheap from ebay / rally forums as they're useless for racing.

Yeah thats it. Just re-read and you're after recliners though, and they don't tend to use them for competition.

Those Raceland ones in the link are well known as the way to go if you want super-budget reclining buckets. The only trade-offs being they look a bit odd (but then they are intended for the road) and from what I've heard the stitching only lasts a few years.
