Noz Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Anyone had an experience with these? I'd like some Speed's, but not prepared to have over 1k for them, and no decent 2nd hand sets knocking about. Worried due to being cheap the cover will be thin and damage easily. Jimmy James is borrowing my set so better buy some new ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I bought a set of the copies off of ebay and they were absolutely garbage. I went for them based on a review on here saying they were good but they are anything but. I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole. You can get original Recaros for £700 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted March 15, 2012 Author Share Posted March 15, 2012 Advice taken, ebay item deleted off watch list! I was after leathers, I wouldn't really want to re-trim bran new ones. 700 for new sounds pretty good, I assume they are cloth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was after leathers, I wouldn't really want to re-trim bran new ones. 700 for new sounds pretty good, I assume they are cloth? £700 for the Recaro Ambla Leather. It's a synthetic Leather that Recaro use. Recaro don't make any leather Speeds (they might not make any leather seats at all). They are stunning though and the feel is excellent. Very hard wearing stuff too. http://www.mkivsuprastar.com/Pics/Interior/IMG_1955-800.jpg http://www.mkivsuprastar.com/Pics/Interior/IMG_1959-800.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also which bride frame is it? I heard there are two types. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsween Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 The part number is in one of KrisM threads. They bolted pretty much straight on. The seats need a bit of persuasion as to get all 4 bolts in you really need to wedge the arse of the seat over the support. This leaves the seat with next to no movement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supra Gaz Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I loved mine, i bought some tatty Recaro Speeds on Ebay and then sent them to Jurgen for a re-trim, he did an amazing job, they probably owed me £700 all in, i customized some BRIDE rails to make them sit on the deck, i am running BRIDEs now and they arent as comfy....
