    200: Bye Bye Gordini.......

    Deako - i lost as much on an M3, so your not alone, and it also proves such losses happen on all cars. The car market is absolutely flat on its arse a.t.m. and all cars are struggling to sell. As you know you take a hit on any new car, more so when you sell it so soon. My mates just bought...

    I had this last year when my old 5 series went in for repair, its easy enough done, just ring your insurance company and explain it to them - they will need to know the details of the car you will be getting from the dealers though. Should be no extra charges to pay either ;)

    Going rate for a Recaro swap?

    Mike - i am thinking of doing the same, issue i have is the airbags, would the standard seats side airbag have the same resistance as the Recaros? - i think so :)

    Swapping Recaros to standard seats and airbag lights?

    Thanks for the replies :thumbsup: In theory, the side airbag on the Recaro and the standard seat could well be the same resistance, so would be just a case of connecting the wires up (in the correct polarity of course!) Not bothered about the seatbelt light/bleep, i've already disconnected...

    Swapping Recaros to standard seats and airbag lights?

    J3FVW - will bare that offer in mind :) I know of a set of standard seats for £200 so it just got me thinking given the fact removing the Recaros doesnt effect the trade in price. I've just found out that the standard seats also have side airbags which i didnt realise, so i guess it would be a...
