E21 & Vintage
Recaro Seats
Our rebuilt and reupholstered Recaro seats are finished in colors which very-closely match stock 2002, E21 and E30 BMW models and also offer other non-BMW options.
Upholstery is available in vinyl, cloth and genuine leather, with a variety of stitching options.
Aardvarc is making available for sale approximately 15 matched sets of Recaro seats.
Each set is presented below with a short description of each set of seats, along with a two to five photos showing pertinent features.
Nearly all the seats are considered to be “core” seats, meaning they should be rebuilt and recovered.
Aardvarc Used Recaro Seats
Each seat set is fully complete, as would be delivered from the factory, unless noted otherwise. All plastic knobs and covers are included, along with any necessary fasteners, even if the photos show missing pieces. We will make sure that each seat set leaves our location fully complete as described. Please keep in mind that many of the Recaro knobs and plastic hinge covers are either no longer available or very expensive, ranging in price from $10 to over $60 for a single piece).
Each set of seats is presented with two price options:
purchase the set as is, with no restoration work completed, and
purchase the set at a $100 discount and have Aardvarc repair and recover the set to your specifications. In this case you would add the seat you want to the cart, then go to the “restore your Seats” section and select the color, material, and textures you want for the seats you have purchased.
