For the pros, they will tell you that the feel, the look and the embroidery of the seats themselves can be said to be genuone or not... however, some points are...

1) Originals have a Recaro flip-tag which says made in Recaro USA etc...

2) The word "Recardo" on originals have a small ® - which stands for registered trademark on them.

3) The material of originals feel harder and more tougher and are more darker red (or whatever the colour may be).

4) Originals should come with 3-strap racing seatbelts (unless ordered without).

So yeah, just some pointers.

If they are new they will have tags/stickers on the base with:

Serial number

Parts number

Parts name

Date of manufacture

If second hand this may be gone. So for recliners:

Seat back adjuster will have on the support plate (plastic)

Made in West Germany

RECARO R (as in the regitered trade made thingy)

KEIPER RECARO GMBH & CO Remshied

KBA 90349 Idealsitz SR (Identifier for the seat type in this case SR3)

Not sure for fixed back.

You will also find the fabrics etc are top quality. If they feel cheap or look poorly put together be careful.

Hope it helps
