WTB recaro headrests for my factory BMW RECARO seats

Post by alijonny »

:roll: I thought the title would get your attention. LOL

anyway, I know BMW sport seats are not Recaros. so on to the subject.

I NEED HEADRESTS for a crappy pair of Recaro seats I picked up. I do not have measurements for the headrests. However, the holes are farther apart than the normal e28 sport seats. I want to get started on the "restoration" of these seats, but have no source for the headrests. I would like something simple, as these originally came with the fish net style headrests (which I will take, given the current situation). If you see something at a local junkyard and feel the need to help me out, pick them up. I want to keep the cost of this down, however, I will try to compensate as best as possible for your time. let me know first before you go and get them. thanks!

Try your junkyard for the OEM VW GTI/GLI 16v recaros. They are the same dimensions and spacing as the aftermarket headrests.

Some BMW sports seats were made by Recaro. The E21 320is sport seats were made by Recaro and I have a set of black vinyl headrest for those seats. They are in really good condition. I can't get pictures for them until next weekend.

These are not the actual headrests, but these are they type of seats the headrest came off of.

I would let them go for $50, plus shipping.

Thanks,
