Cloth Bench in a FF 182?

[JimOw]

Afternoon,

I've tried to search for this but haven't found anything of us.
Basically I've just been to view a car, it has full service history, cambelt changed etc so it's pretty much perfect.

The only slight issue I have is that it seems to have a cloth bench, and not the fake half leather ones.
It's also got the cloth door inserts. I was wondering if this sounds right? The owner's a really nice guy and said he bought it like that, but I thought all FF 182's came with the proper rear bench?

I should point out that it does have Recaro's, the owner told me that because it has Recaro's that they fit the cloth in the back, but I have to admit I'm not sure?

The reason I want to know is incase it indicates that there's been a problem with the car, HPI checks out okay.

Thanks,
James

If it's got Recaro's from the factory then you get a poverty spec rear seat, same with the Trophy.

 

[JimOw]

And that's the same for the door cards?

 

[Brett]

Not sure on the door cards. The recaro'd cars definitely got the poverty spec rear bench though. I wouldn't be concerned by it. Your lucky to find a FF with recaros tbh.

Rear seats. You don't use them. Your lucky to be able to sit in some recaros in a FF 182.

 

[JimOw]

Yep, cheers.
I was only checking, the actual seats don't bother me. I didn't want it to mean the car had been damaged before and the seats replaced.

Buying it by the way, going on Thursday to pick it up, hopefully!

Is it definitely a FF? As in with Cup packs, not a cup which only came with cloth seats. It got Xenons, cruise control etc?

 

[JimOw]

R-Sports, yep Black Gold. It looks like it's got both packs? It's got Xenons, Cruise Control, Climate Control.

Black gold is always FF - Can never be cup

& yes Recaros have cup rear bench-

I saw that one first listed -- Guy in surrey hadnt had it long?--

The previous seller ( dealer) listed at 4k

[JimOw]

Yep, going to be the same one. He's had it a year and half, so not a suspiciously short amount of time.
Interesting about the price..

Hmm .. I did, it checked out, except for being in his Dads name.. anything I should be worried about?

Oh!? Are you referring to another BG 182 with Recaro's that was on a week or so ago. If so I saw that as well and they have different number plates.

 

[James28]

Sounds good if its a FF then mate! Just pick up a half leather rear bench from here in the for sale section for cheap, possibly doorcards, and you'll be laughing!
Recaro's are lovelyy!
