O.K not Recaros but actually a little nicer IMHO. I saw these over on Bimmerforums and have to say they do look rather lovely.

They're by a company called FloFits - a rival of Recaros. I actually think they look better, something about that dial being on the headrest that looks really, really cool. Interested to know what everyone thinks of them

They're great, but I don't like that dial on the headrest at all.

Nice, but not keen on headrest dial either tbh.

Interesting, the headrest dial was the thing that I liked about them. 2-1 so far then

Not sure to be honest. Cheaper than retrimming some old E21 recaros surely. I found their website said the brackets are specifically made to fit an E21.

Very nice but dials on headrest just look miss-placed to me

Nice seats but not sure what the designers were thinking with the headrests.

Pls be careful with cheap imitation Recaro's, heard of some people trying them here in Holland but sometimes it's real cheap stuff and in some cases the frames just break!

Jeroen these ones are in America, wouldn't they have something similar to the British quality standard approval in our country? I think I am the only one who likes the dials on the headrest!

What do the headrest dials do? Alter the angle of the headrests?

I think they make your suspension go up and down?

They look like the Headrests from the 70's and 80's Ford Granada's and come to think of it, i think they had that weird growth on the side too.
