Hi all,

My Drivers Recaro seat is wearing crazy on the side, from getting in an out all the time, starting to show some foam :thumbsdown:

Just wondering if anyone knows someone in Melbourne who could Reupholster for a good price, I think only one side needs doing.

Thanks

Jesse

I don't know any upholster over there but tbh best bet would be to call by a few shops and see what they'd charge. I'm getting a bolster re-done (material is mint, foam is deformed and has fallen away) and that's going to be $60.

You can buy the material from Recaro Australia from memory then its a simple find a interior upholster/trimmer person to do it for you =)

If you want to fix the foam though, you'll have to contact that person...

lol I decided it was expensive so removed the fabric and poked some new foam in the areas that had disintegrated and then added lots of tape :D

Then I washed the fabric and re assembled the seat. Looks like new again.

When I get around to doing my other seat I'll do a little DIY.

Another option is to buy another seat, possible with a different pattern. Then just swap the centre piece over :)

you can try these guys, they are the official recaro distributors in melbourne, people from the itr forums have been quoted $150 for bolster replacement.

here is also a recaro seat fix guide.
