ill move, but I dont think they are actually omega seats, sure they have been discussed before and identified as cavalier or something.

Oh really?

I see the topic and someone suggesting that they were only ever fitted to the estates?

Hmmmm.....

They are not standard MV6 sports seats.

Remember reading somewhere they did a few one-offs,like the coloured set that were on fleabay a while back but they were silly money.

They look more like the L.C seats.

Hmmmm i'd say they are different to the LC seats still, on comparison of the two photos.

Maybe they are the Cavalier Turbo seats?

There Omega Seats, Ive had two sets of them so far, first set were clothe, black with grey/blue/red centers with matching door cards and rear seats, fronts have Recaro stitched on the front seats, second set was leather all black with Recaro logo pressed on the front leather but these had the leg extensions, niether had side airbags and all the head rests back and fronts had the holes in them.

Both sets were from an Estate, still got the clothe ones somewhere, but sold the leathers, made good money on those.

The Clothe ones came with matching door cards (Preface) and Carbon fibre trim. I do know the clothe ones where from NI reg, but still a vauxhall.

Thanks for the info Chris, I've also put an email notification on eBay incase any come up.

Would there be any chance of photos showing the cloth Recaro interior you have? I'd love to get my hands on a set of the snug black leather Recaro's over the Recaro armchairs currently fitted to my Miggy.

Please bear me in mind should any come your way  :y

I'll bear you in mind Paul in the unlikely event I come across any again, only ever seen 2 sets and their the ones I had my mitts on.

The clothe ones are in my lock up, I take some pics next time Im there if I can get to them.

Was thinking of getting the clothe ones recovered in leather at some stage, till I found out how much it would cost.

Deffo not LC seats - they don't have the extend-able thigh supports.

Look like leather MV6 or Irmscher Senator seats to me. :-/

As an aside, IIRC, most - if not all - Omega seats are made by Recaro. :y

But I know what you mean. :D

If they are Irmscher senator seats, then they will need to be drilled to get them to fit the Omega runners. :y

i appreciate we've established what these seats might be, but just to add that they definitely are NOT cavalier leather seats, turbo or otherwise.
