RE: Recaro Pole Position
Nice seats though I'd prefer technik fabric to leather or alcantara.
Perhaps you could get a retrimmer to put a vinyl wrap over the centre of the steering wheel to hide the VW roundel, the airbag would still work and you'd lose the dodgy emblems.

RE: Recaro Pole Position
good idea paz - I will try that. Next time you see Lucas - ask how many heated seat elements he has squeezed into his pole positions - tart!
not trying 6 points until I get the roll cage fitted later in the year. Just heard too many horror stories about snapped necks!

RE: Recaro Pole Position
I can vouch for the comfort of the pole postions on a reasonably long trip ~250 miles non stop. I thought they would be awful, but for me they are more comfortable than OEM recaros!

RE: Recaro Pole Position
thats a huge weight reduction too if the original recaros are 50KG each and these are only 12KG! almost 5% of the cars weight!

RE: Re: RE: Recaro Pole Position
recaros are plus side mounts and baseframes and adjusters - but I got decent money for th blue alcantara recaros and I am sure you will with the low mileage.
Recaro do have delays for these seats so your new buyer needs to be flexible on dates!

RE: Re: RE: Recaro Pole Position
David,
With Amber-leather black (Leather look) and dimanica suede black you are looking at £465 ea. Full black leather is £745 ea.
The leather look is supprisingly good nothing like the leather look seats of old.
The lead time can be 4 weeks generally is around the 2.5 weeks from order.

RE: Re: RE: Recaro Pole Position
By the way, I weighed the Audi Recaros before I fitted them to my old car and they are 36kg each.
Doug's guesstimate was close but no cigar
Still damn heavy though.

RE: Re: RE: Recaro Pole Position
David - what bases have you got - you don't have the centre slider on your car do you?
