Just arrived are my 2 Recaro Sportster seats with airbags ,$2400 the pair from a seller in South Australia. At least I save money on something. I have BBI seat mounts on the way from the States! Got to sort harness and mounts yet. Harness bar or Half cage[maybe wrapped in alacantra}. Hopefully by end of March all done! I've got the Sportster's in mine and love them. Used the Planted bases and Recaro sliders. Only things I noticed were that the seatblet extenders make life easier and the recliner mechanism dosen;t let the seat go all the way back.

I am thinking Sportster? Have not been able to compare because of lockdown. Thoughts anyone? @philipk what colour/spec are your old seats and will you be selling or holding on to them?

philipk Posted 23March, 2022 Author Report Share Posted 23March, 2022 What would you do if you delivered a car with an exhaust system to a mechanic and then months later they said "Sorry, you never gave it to us. Buy a new one" What hapened to trust!! Sold it to another client maybe?? Their responce "Sorry cannot find it, if we find it we will reimburse you!"First item I bought for the car.

LeeM Posted 23March, 2022 Report Share Posted 23March, 2022 That's really shit @philipk No names here, but sadly it's not the first time I've heard that about Porsche (and other) shops 'misplacing' parts, then denying they were there. I trust noone now mate Hope it gets sorted soon 5 minutes ago, philipk said: Seriously thinking about putting my Social Media girl with contacts on all Porsche sites and going Thermo Nuclear on this. VERY pissed off! Careful. We all know about a certain member here doing that, then receiving a cease and desist letter from the company lawyers!

911CSR Posted 23March, 2022 Report Share Posted 23March, 2022 Mate super concerned to hear. I have been in a similar situation with a $4,500 turbo at a shop. I now always keep a register and photos of everything dropped off for work/servicing. tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
