Clio 172 Cup seat options

[BaileyWolves]

Have been offered a set of 197 cup seats for next to nothing have these ever been fitted in a 172 or would they just be ridiculously big in the cabin ?

Anyone know any decent seats which would compliment the interior without looking overkill ?

thanks as always

Mark

@0ss has some 197 Recaro seats in his and they look good.

I have also seen this 182 LY with some Recaro seats also.

 

[Clio_fool]

Take them! They are great seats and very comfortable. I did 750 miles on our Wales weekend last September and never felt uncomfortable after a few hours playing sheep dodging.

 

[BaileyWolves]

Thanks lads they aren’t as nice as those 🙈 they more like these how much do the above seats normally sell for

 

[BaileyWolves]

What rails do the ones show in your posts go on lads ?

 

[Clio_fool]

🤣For those forget it. Making them fit will cost more than the cars worth and they will look out of place. Save for some recaros instead.

 

[Flat Eric]

Get some trendlines mate. They come up on here for sale every now and then

 

[frayz]

Pole positions 😏

 

[BaileyWolves]

If anyone hears on a set of these up for sale let me know

 

[imprezaworks]

Don't buy those. It's a cup not a hybrid cheap 197 thing.

Recaros yup

I'll be selling some Recaro Evo 8 Seats (Blue), with Jon Foz lower mounts once everything has settled down a bit. They fit really well and give much better support.

I'm fitting some mk1 mx5 seats on the X-Low subframes as a temporary solution (possibly permanent if i like them), until i get a daily sorted, then i'll be getting bucket seats i think. I got the mx5 seats quite cheap and they should allow me to lower the seating position by at least 3 inches I reckon.

Not my image, but its these exact seats

 

[BaileyWolves]

Keep me updated mate please 👍

I can confirm these are some of the best seats for a road Clio as they adjust nicely and are so comfortable! Nice height with the Jon Foz subframes too. Much better and more supportive than the Trophy ones. Look great in a Cup too. I know this as the above set did used to me mine 😁

 

[Flat Eric]

Do these not fold forward though due them being on a saloon previously?

I know you can wind them all the way forward and then slide forward but still a faff if you often have rear passengers.

You are correct, they do not fold forward.

My mrs and kids hate my clio so I ain’t arsed about getting them in 😂

The ones in oss's car look nice! I'm not into the Mitsi Evo ones in a Clio.

Agreed regarding the 197/200 Recaros. The Evo option is a fair bit cheaper and easy to fit with Jon Foz subframes.

The Recaros look awsome. Proper comfortable too.

 

[BaileyWolves]

The evo seats will most prob suit my budget better altho the others are really cool, if I can get the blue style ones will go well with the car

 

[BaileyWolves]

The standard cup seats are like escort popular plus seats

 

[Flat Eric]

They are reletively supportive though considering.

The trendlines look the part but they aren't the most supportive in my opinion.
I have them in mine and they look loads better than std 182 seats but they used to hug the sides better

 

[BaileyWolves]

Yes won’t lie they are comfortable and supportive but just a bit bland in the cabin the standard ones, I will keep them as they are mint to sell with the car if I ever sell

They look fantastic.

 

[davo172]

Recaro only imo

 

[Iain C]

They arnt that magenta in the flesh. I quite like cobra seats. Not as nice and well made as trend lines but alot cheaper and just as comfortable.
Think these were £300 for the pair woth sub frames. Id imagine they are similar price now days too.
The sportster recaros are lovely tho. 🤔
