Those seats we have aspired to since the 80s (depending on the state of your back).

Recaro seats seem to have split into many sections each separate but producing chairs for big arenas, gaming and other non-automotive areas - but it's the car seat company that is in trouble.

I've also heard that BBS wheels is in trouble - odd since they currently hold the F1 contract and many other motorsport contracts.

Years ago I had an alloy wheel manufacturer as a client.

The manufacturing process was fairly crude.

Two things surprised me:

1. Car manufacturers rarely designed the wheels themselves. They had a model and would ask the client to design suitable wheels.

2. The mark-up made by the car manufacturer - the client at the time would sell an alloy wheel for say £25 each. The retail price in the showroom was £2k!!!

In the end, the company couldn't compete and shifted manufacturing to South Africa.
