R32 with Recaro seats

nicks3 · 03-01-2006, 05:40 PM

Anyone know of one at a dealer so that I can decide whether to opt for these or not. Also looking to compare silver and grey R32's if anyone knows where there are any of those too!

Gallery has a few of both

I need to see them in the flesh. My order ic currently flor the Recaros but I want to see what the back look like. Front looks great, just not sure about the painted backs.

Know what you mean, the placky looking painted backs remind me of the seats used on full size arcade games

nicks3 · 03-01-2006, 06:27 PM

I know, problem is they look great from the front. I'm thinking I could maybe get the rear painted part trimmed in leather to match the fronts.......Trying to get some ideas of cost at the moment.

The large photo of the rear seat back of a Recaro in the gallery is quite misleading. The car it shows seems to have a very light interior which therefore shows up the black painted surface of the Recaros in that photo. On mine which has leather Recaros in anthracite the interior trim on the car is dark and even when you sit in the back the seat backs don't stand out as much as they do in the gallery photo.
The only cars my dealer had were a demo in Reflex Silver and mine which is in Steel Grey. It was'nt until i saw a car in DBP that I realised what people were complaining about in regard to the "bling" front end. On both Silver and Steel grey the front grill does'nt stand out whereas on the other colours it does.

So they look good in your car. Can you post any pictures for me?

I don't pick my car up until this weekend - the only picture I have of the seats is this

..........and thats why I ordered them in the first place, they look great!! Not anywhere near Nottingham are you for me to have a look?

Yep they do look great which is why I ordered them too - who cares what the back of them looks like?
