I am having a clear out and need to make space so would like to see if its worth me selling these seats. I've had a look around and cant seem to find anything similar for sale to gauge a price from. 

 

I think they are Karobes, as they look like the ones in the karobes brochure on the mk1 performance site, but I cant find any identifications on the seats.

 

Condition is ok i guess, certainly they could be used as is, but could be good candidates for restoration maybe? I've tried to show the condition in the pics.

 

They are fiberglass framed, and surprisingly light, but missing subframes, but should easily be modified to suit most subframes i think.

Yes , I think they are nice seats too👍
They were going to go in my project, but I managed to source another set of karobes which I preferred , so time has come to sell these as I'm running out of space ha!

Can't seem to find any thing similar on the depths of the web to gauge a price on.

They will look awesome in a mini I'm sure 😃

hmmm this is getting tricky  :shy:

 

mk3 , they certainly look the same, hopefully someone will be able to help on a price.

 

Simon, shame i didn't know you were looking for these, as i was in possession of them when i came and saw you for the day and relieved you of lots of your mk1 bits :0

If I hadn't of bought my Corbeau GT4's recently, I would of had these off you in a heartbeat! They were exactly what I was looking for a few months back. Valuation wise, I'd say the £200- £280 mark easily
