Not as under the thumb as some of you think wink

Need a single decent quality chair (recaro or something would be nice) to construct a gaming chair with wheel/pedals etc...

needs to be quite cheap as I will probably start it and never finish it hehe

any ideas? have checked ebay but they are silly prices and usually only available in pairs biggrin

There's a branch of Currys with a slightly shop-soiled proper one.

Quick search of P&P will get you the details.

Don't think it's actually a Recaro, but you get the idea

Have you thought about the local scrap yard. Not all the cars are total wrecks.

There's plenty of cloth alfa seats on ebay going for around 70 squid.

They are a bit like recaro seats with their supports. I have cloths in my current alfa but will be looking to upgrade soonish to leather, in which case the clothes will be up for sale or for the bin.

I'm going to buy a Ferrari seat at some point to turn into a chair. I'll probably find one by locating a company that strips cars out for racing, or by going to one of the breakers.
