First of all you might have noticed a new banner for Capital Seating and Auto Trim. They are sister companies that specialise in seating and trimming. As well as being Recaro's UK repair centre they also stock a wide range of replacement parts for OEM Recaro seats like the FRST and RS 1800 ones. These include new bolsters, tilt levers and diaphragms.

They don't list Fiesta parts but here's the link for Escort ones: http://www.capitalseating.co.uk/product ... id=76&rid=

I've heard mentions that the Escort seats are wider. I don't think this is true though but I'll endevour to find out for sure.

In addition they offer the full range of Recaro aftermarket seats and accessories at prices below RRP.

Auto Trim have been in the trimming business for over 30 years and specialise in retrimming, trim repairs and also car covers and convertable hood repairs.

I've been speaking to Stephen at Capital about various ideas of mutual benefit to both them and the site and we've come up with an idea:

Group buy

But not your usual group buy!

If we can get an order together Capital will provide discount on a sliding scale - the bigger the order the higher the discount. Once we have everyone's order in they are bulk processed in one go.

This offer includes any products Capital or Auto Trim sell, so anything from a spare Recaro cushion to a retrim.

Discount up to 20% could potentially be available if we get enough people together. This post is just to test the water and see who would be interested?

[DaveRom]

im in need of the handle on the side, that moves the back of the seat cant find it on the site, but a price would be nice

They are ERST parts, I think the FRST ones are the same. I've heard the Escort seats are wider but I don't think that's true.

Capital will know for sure, or someone with access to both could measure them?

[Syorme]

would be interested in a re-trim depending on price

[AdrianFRST]

Cloth, leather, alcantara / suede or a combination? Just front and rear seats or extras like door cards and head lining?

If you can go into a bit more detail I can get a ballpark figure next time I speak to Stephen.

[andyhardy]

Great stuff - I'm pretty sure the Recaros are the same size, I have both so I can take some measurements.

Cheers,

Andy

[reisskahn]

Would they be able to supply just the standard frst upper bolster cloth with the beading?? if so i'm well interested in one for each seat as spares

[Syorme]

would love full retrim in half leather but think i'll just stick to the front 2 in just the standard trim

cheers

[White_Ford_Rich]

It's Ford material not Recaro's so I'm not sure they would be able to help. I'll ask though.

I used Auto Trim for the piping on my seats, so can vouch for the quality and service:

[Brammer]

Thats a really tidy job what sort of price is it for a re-pipe?

[reisskahn]

yeh mate how much did that set u back???

[Al]

They did me a good deal, I needed the base of one doing and the seat back of the other doing. They couldnt match the colour spot on (at the time, not sure now) so they re-piped the lot for the price of one seat basically. Cant remember an exact figure, but iirc it was around £70+VAT.

Worth getting a quote as this was a year or so ago

[boardster]

i have just got some bolsers they are £15 something each

[mrorange2]

how much is a full retrim in leather? thats everything including door cards?

[Brammer]

cala, whats the deal there then mate, 15 notes????

[AdrianFRST]

I've got some answers from Steve:

The Fiesta seats are not listed as they haven't been able to have a close look and determine what parts fit. If someone is local with a FRST or FRST seats then it would be great if they we able to pop along some time for them to take a look.

Leather retrims in top quality leather for front and rear seats plus door cards would be around £950+vat. They can do poorer quality for as little as £750+vat but they prefer to use the best leathers. You get what you pay for with trimming. I had cheap leather in mine and it was pretty bad.

Examples of Auto Trim's work include the "Revved Up" Rover 214 and the new Prodrive P2 due for launch at the Autosport show next year.

[CarismaDave]

I wouldn't mind 0.5m2 of my alcantara if it's possible?

I don't bother wasting my time with Carisma anymore

[Xr_Dub]

I would Love to get my
Front two seats done in mid range leather

is it possible to add heated seating ?
and make it height adjustable?
can you choose a stiching pattern?

need a price on
front 2 seats
front door cards only
may b the top inner roof.

as im striping the car

[Jpex]

wonder how much i could get some accord type r seats for

[Excursion]

Escort Recaro's are definitely different. They don't look anywhere near as nice as the FRST ones. The ERST has more rounded bolsters and looks wider, FRST seats look much nicer and always had thinner bolsters (and no it's not the colour!).

[Project]

I could do with a pair of the rubber/fabric pads which run under the bum-cushion as the rubber's torn on the driver's seat, meaning my butt hangs out of the bottom (anyone in the back can kick my ass, so to speak... !).

[limbo]

could they get little cig burns out of the seat, and i need a bit re-piped??

[beanyfrst]

dependin on cash would have a re-trim

[mortos2]

brilliant my rubber went from the underneath and iv built it up with blocks of wood lol and it now sits to high.. so i see thay have a new rubber for it

thanks
andy

[turbohurky]

cheersmate let me know
lee

[Xr_Dub]

I would really like a qoute on somthing like this
on the seats and door cards only.

[mintwhiters]

I need the usual drivers bolster for a FRST. How much??

[AdrianFRST]

Give em a bell. Mention the group buy and then you'll have a starting price which will be discounted with the bulk order.
