refurbishing recaros

Post by **waiman** » Thu Apr 17, 2008 12:39 am

looked at quite a few rs4s over the past week..noticed that the seats had loads of crease marks on the leather etc,etc on all of them...anyone know a good place to get a retrim or refurbishing(would like to buy a rs4 with the half leather half cloth recaros as i think they will be better to wear and tear)

And you would be quite correct- I've seen loads of full leather set-ups on all kinds of Audi's and it convinced me to go down the leather/tech route- after all our cars are all at least 7years old now- thats a lot of arse action even if you just toddle down to the shops twice a week. Seems the leather goes baggy across the board- gf's last TT was full leather- awful- with 50000 on the clock- her latest TT is leather/alcantara- much better! Sorry can't help with sourcing a renovator but some of the better quality (ha) tuning magazines usually disclose their sources and don't look half bad.

I can recommend Intatrim, they do a ton of work in the kit and classic market. Their work is second to none imo, give Graham a call on 01952 641712. Tell him Tom from Kit Car Mag sent you for a special price!

10% more commission you mean Tom?

Useful tip re Intatrim though, most '6s I've seen have creased driver side bolsters and seat. Thanks.

Cheers!

Crikey...I wish!

But in all seriousness they supply a good majority of the manufacturers in industry and have done a ton of film work too, (remember Blakes 7!), and Graham is a very decent guy.

Have to agree with you about the leather vs. High Tech debate... not to mention the anti-slide characteristics they offer as well!
I recently bought a full set of black leathers..... but will be selling it on in favour of re-trimming my halfleathers when they are badly worn.

Very nice... no fear of sliding out of them.... if your corner too hard there is always the chance of getting catapulted out the window!!

They look ABSOLUTELY awesome!

Looks like some poor baby seals were clubbed to death. Very nice!

MJ interiors are a Recaro agent. Parts, new bolsters, subframes, heating element replacement with new carbon pads, retrims the lot.

Even new bolsters for OEM applications?
