The guy had only three sets of seats, and we bought two of them. The last one was shipped stateside I think. It's definitely sold. Found them on eBay Germany.

Actually, they will be sitting in my home office for about another month and a half. I'm not fitting them until I get my new Roc. Besides, I won't be using them during the winter season anyways, and that ain't gonna be over til mid April anyways.

So I'll be chaning tyres and seats twice a season...haha 8)

I do have a Scirocco now as well, but got a new one on order. I want to wait with installing these until the new one arrives. And no...March isn't really spring overe here. Yes, it's warmer in the air, but the snow ain't gone till way out in April.

I got this one now:

Interesting. That's the same guy we bought ours from, and he told me he did not have any more seats left.
Anyways...his name is Wolfgang. I wouldn't say that he has the best customer relations touch (he's a bit touchy), but he did deliver the goods as promised. Seats were delivered in Recaro boxes nicely packed and in brand new condition.

Note: He prefers to do business outside fleebay. I ended up (somewhat inadvertently) doing this and this cause me some worries there for a while du to some touchy e-mails, but like I said...he did delivery as promised. If he has another set just go for it :)

Each to his own, of course. We ordered two sets of seats off the guy, and picked them up on Wednesday. Keep the deal within eBay and there shouldn't be anything to worry about.
Here are mine in my living room :D

You can get them off of eBay in Germany. They will still cost you over 3K EUR + shipping :)

And do you remember what was the name of seller? From whom did you buy the seats? I found on eBay one seller, his name is "motorsport2000". Is that the same from whom you bought?
