Cup seats arent that great. If i were you, id go for the 172 leathers if you can find em...or some stylish after-market jobbies.

 

[gsmgregg]

Probably very hard to get hold of...and probably a big que..perhaps put a post in the Wanted Section would be a good start!!?

Have a look into aftermarket seats...im not into the big side-winding things, but there are some very nice suttle leather seats out there. Whatever your into really!

But theyre basically the same seats as the 172 but with a cloth covering...

Same with the Dynamiques and some other models with sports seats, so there are a few to go at which will be a LOT cheaper than a set of leathers from a 172 and thats "if" you can actually find some!

they are a lot deaper than the 172 seats

go for some corbeau targas in leather, set ya back 700 quid each like but they are compfy as f**k lol

Re after market - look at POTN website... good prices... look at KONIG seats, and speak to steve-hall about his cos they are gorgeous.

If you want standard seats, go for the ones out of the Dynamique, cos they have a better head rest than the Cups.

How can you get round the problem of aibags in the seat will the airbag light be on all the time if you just disconnect them, i was after some aftermarket seats but came across this problem, as that light being on will invalidate my warranty. any help appreciated.

Theyre basically the same as all the other Sporty Clios... even the 172 & V6

Yes they are, same side supports, same shape, just different materials

get some real buckets in there, or some sparco recliners if you need your rear seats

oh and FYI, the 172 interior will cost £700+

the drivers leather seat cover is 1400

The sporty clios all have the same seats they are just covered in different materials.

I have just swapped my clio 1.4 s seats for 172 seats (silver stiching 2002 type) and the visual difference is definitly worth it.

With regard to the airbag and service light, no you cannot connect the new seats up to the existing wiring loom. Theyre totally different. To get rid of the lights you have to remove the dash and wrap each bulb with black electrical tape. Replace the dash and youd be none the wiser.

Lastly, I didnt find 172 interiors that hard to find. You can buy a mag similar to autotrader just showing companies breaking cars. Its called something like autosalvage, got mine in WHSmiths. Your guaranteed to find a few 172s being broken out of the 1000s of companies listed. As far as price goes, Cliospares offered me an interior for £450 which I had to collect, but I managed to source a mint sub 5000 mile interior for £330 +£40 delivery.

To make my modding experience even better ive just sold my old interior for a tidy little sum which is buying a nice set of mats.

Any questions please feel free to ask.
