      yes

      the original red recaros were stolen from the dealership

      ...they were replaced but not with the Red - they are impossible to find in good nic these days too!!
      touching on the seats for that matter...
      **if anyone would like to swap red recaros in good cond for near new black recaros (seat covers always worn) i would even be prepared to swap + pay cash for the right set. **

            That really sucks! They were stolen AT the dealership while getting serviced!

            I would be absolutely furious!

            Were the red recaros the same type of red recaros that are found in the forsale section? Was there any distinct difference in the seats? Markings? Serial numbers?

              I would have thought that if any parts from your Honda were stolen at a Honda Dealership whilst you had Your Honda there during service they'd be accountable for any theift or mishaps having your car in their possesion ? Sounds very suspect to be me mate. I'd be after blood if it was me!!!!!!! Times a million!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                hey guys, regarding the seats - i am totally in agreement that Honda should have been accountable to replace these seats with the original red ones - but sadly, the previous owner was having it serviced at Larke Hoskines when this happened, not me. i would be chasing a lost cause if i tried to pursue this further with the help of previous owner.

                but like i said, the seats were replaced with brand new black ones so they are in absolutely MINT condition! i still have the sticker on the inside of the door which says its a black/red interior code for proof it had red recaros.
                i always wanted a CHW ITR with red recaros but when you look for 6 months and you finally find a clean example...i was never going to dismiss it solely for that reason...and now with the little bit extra info about this particular ITR i am glad i chose it

                        as previously stated, they were stolen from the dealership when the car was getting serviced, i have also confirmed in the above posts that it was with the previous owner.
                        dialogue tends to get misinterpreted via forums - i hope its quite clear now.

                          lol I think I know who's car this is.

                          or maybe not... did the car used to have TE37s? I don't remember bonnet pins being on this car, but then again this was years ago.

                            the previous owner has a famous/unique first name...

                            if the guy your thinking of previously owned this fits that criteria...it might be him.

                            but no i don't remember him mentioning anything about TE37's, somehow i think you are definitely talking about the wrong guy
