Aftermarket Seats - Other than Recaros?

[joytodrive25]

Hi, I have seen a lot of talk about Recaros but no-one seem to mention using other aftermarket seats? Is this because they don't allow for a slide mechanism?

Cobras/Sparcos and even Corbeaus are way cheaper and look good.

I'm tempted as my drivers isn't in great condition. may just have it re-upholstered though.

OEM stuff is popular and tilts forward.

Yeh, that's what I figure and the tilting thing is obviously important for a lot of people, like me who occasionally need to use the rear seats. My drivers seat is just a bit fluffy now.

Fluffy? how'd you mean?

Haha, not the best description, just worn on the seat fabric. Bobbly is an equally good adjective?!

Use the fuzz shaver to trim it https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=d...5.2961j0j7&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=122&ie=UTF-8

Something along those lines.

I had cobra daytonas, they were brilliant for the price. And they kept the tilt mechanism. But there's no doubt Recaro's look brilliant.

Nicest reasonably priced seat I think are Cobra Misanos as they still have the tilt facility but you can get them to suit you and even better at the Factory Sale as the Head Office is literally 5 mins from my house!

Expensive these days aren't they? Misano's look great, I could never get comfy in them.

Ha I wasn't trying to be a d*ck about the word you'd used, just that if the seats are fine then you can just shave the bobbles off with a razor blade like these:

I did it to mine (carefully) and they came up miles better.
