Well I seem to have bought 3 differnt seats for my. Car first these but then decided they wasn't what I wanted

Image

Then for some reason I bought these just for abit of comfort instead of the hard standard seats but then I changed my mind finding a differnt set
Image

But these are my new seats which I'm pretty happy with Could do with a tidy up but think will suit the car a lot more

I know they are not too tidy but nothing a retrim won't fix. Not sure what they are out of he says e24 They seem a hard seat to find

They look like type 1 e24 seats. Those are the same as e21 recaros, so you did great! But that frame they're on looks like home made.

Now you're talking! These will look great, especially after a tidy up.

They are expensive, no question. Pretty safe investment though. What did you pay? I would happily pay £500 or more for a pair, depending on condition. But over here supply is extremely low.

Get in touch with aardvark racing for parts and the correct console/runners/frame for the E21, as well as replacement knobs and levers. Should be able to find new stickers on ebay :)
