It shouldnt make a difference with the airbag light just make sure that you are careful when removing the seats

it needs a setting adjusting on renault clip.

It will as there won't be any there when the car thinks there is

Renault dealer + clip the proper way to do it, plumbing a resisiter in iirc is the easy and quick way of doing it.

or just ignore the light like i do

 

[jayxx83]

I ingnored the light for about 5 mths then pulled my finger out, went down to Maplins and spent the best part of 23pence for a pair of 3.9 ohm resistors.

Plumbed em in (30 secs) and bobs ur gran, no serv / airbag light.

do the resistors need soldering?

i just put mine in and secured them with electrical tape, makes it easier to change back if the cars returned to standard!

ps. get misanos, they look better and have a better seating position

 

[jayxx83]

^^^ agree with makavelli, sat in the 182 recaros and they are still far to high in comparision to the misanos. I also secured my resistors in place with a bit of electrical tape, but this is not essential.

Better not soldering so if you go back to standard your connectors are'nt buggered. Maka, you had any luck sourcing any pouches to cover up the pretensioners?

duno not sure yet mate,

if we go to the same place we mite get um done cheaper!!!!

 

[makavelli]

here you go:

available in various colours as well as leather

not the best pics but u get the idea

 

[Gaz_]

material is gash on the cobras unless done in leather, very cheap looking

 

[craigs182]

very nice,

whats the price diffrence between these and recaros matey?

 

[Gaz_]

misanos are more.......

i know what i'd rather have

 

[makavelli]

cobras for me

the seating positon in the recaros is far too high for me and the seats are too soft and squishy

my misanos have a very nice material

ask fred and fmp which they prefer

 

[Gaz_]

masanos have the 'rock' fabric, that in the light of day look poor. Very shiney/cheap looking and feeling. They are the same fabric that cover the daytonas i had, got rid because of this. The subfames are very untidy, and dont hide the pretentioners. When these are dearer to buy new than the trendlines, its poor imo

 

[makavelli]

mine dont have the shiny look that the daytonas have, oh well each to their own i guess

i just prefer the seating position of the cobras and the extra hold you get from them over the recaros

 

[Gaz_]

they do, go on the cobra website, the options for the fabric are 'rock', the bolsters on your pics have this fabric type.

granted the subframes are lower, and if you take out the 4 ten mm spacers off each slide mechanism they can be made lower still

 

[makavelli]

must be the colour of mine then as mine aint shiny
