Does anyone have an idea of how much it should cost to retrim a pair of front seats (Recaros from a DC2 for example)?
The wole seat and also just the back and seat inserts.
Cheers.

£300 to 600 depending on what material.

Cheers Ratty. Not worth it for what I've found then.
And like for like Merc. Whatever DC2 Recaros are made of, but probably a different colour.

I know the ATR type Recaros are, but I thought the DC2 type were more like canvas

You'll find most Japanese 90s cars use ecsaine from toray industries which is a competitor to alcantata Like the Type S. Cheaper too.

Looks like it's alcantara around the bulk of the seat and then their own breathable fabric on the inserts...
