    Recaro adjustable​ side bolsters

    I am after Information on the side bolsters.
    It is a basic question.

    Do both of your side bolsters on each seat adjust when you turn the nob on the side of the seat?

    I am trying to find out how common it is for the adjustment mechanism to break.

    How many people actually have the black with red fleck Recaro interior. I know it came on the super vr4 I think as standard, but it could have been an option.
    We're the Recaro's an option on the facelift.

    Ok thank for the update.
    These Recaro interiors seem to be in very short supply.
    I thought loads of people had them.

    Yes, not many Recaro interiors about, not many at all.

    On a tangent, does anyone know of a car re upholstery company that does nice cloth? They all seem to do leather. On my long list of things to do is to get the interior nicer as my recaros are showing their age.

    @carfanatic (Colin) was or is an upolstry depth manager I think for Bentley in crew. So he should know of any reputable companies. I would assume reputation in that line of work is the most important thing.
