	Scrapyard hunting is about the best bet for these on a budget. As soon as they hit eBay the R word puts the price up... Anything from a Capri Injection to a Mk2 Astra GTE to an Isuzu Trooper...

	admin said: Nick have they got the Mesh headrests ? unfortunately not, its a solid headrest, could always cut a slot and get some chicken wire out ;)hehe on the plus side though they are extremely supportive and have an adjustable leg/thigh "bolster" bit

	Recaro also made the seats for the Liberator in Blakes 7. An ex-boss of mine worked for Recaro in the 70s and was involved with the project oddly enough. Recaro seats are also found in busses, trains, trucks, etc. but won't be the sort you are looking for.

	recaro half leather seats are mental price when you mention golf gti, escort rs turbo, but cheap when they come from a rover 214/600series/800series... 205s/309s got them too?

	You can buy the headrest separately. I think that lots (perhaps even most) of car seats are Recaros...just not the right sort.

Ooh, i wonder if they'll fit a capri seat. it might just be worth the risk and dye the yellow later
