I've managed to get a pair of Recaro Speed seats that I would like re covered in black or charcoal suede or alcantara, to fit my E30 M3. I also have a Sport Evo steering wheel and illuminated gear knob, to complete the look.

Unfortunately, the centre push is missing from the steering wheel and so I wondered if they were used on another wheel, or can they be bought elsewhere?

Can anyone recommend a trimmer for the seats, who won't want silly money?

Any help / advice would be much appreciated.

Am I right in thinking the Sport Evo wheel was an M-Tec 2 wheel from a 325i Sport with a Suede rim? If so could be worth a look

^ for the horn push

and

01209 843481 Derek Smith for your re-trim if he still does it. He is over in Illogan and did a superb job on my E30 M3 seats. Ive not spoken to him in a few years but I assume he is still doing interior work.

I had the top section retrimmed with the white Recaro logo removed and an embossed Recaro logo put on the backrest.Think they charged 150 for both seats.There for sale on PH's if your interested,as new! smile

Best bet is to take your seats along for a quote.Hope that helps...

Also try John @ Bespoke Leathering (known on various forums as Sleeper). Has done some top quality work for me before.
