Evo MR recaros - Real name?

[Tom@JMS]

Hi all, need some help. I have recently got these seats for my Clio and I want too know their real name as I believe they are a "Trendline" variant but not entirely certain, can anyone identify them?

 

[Sir_Dave]

I think they're based on the Recaro Speed

I think they're based on the Recaro Speed

+1, fair bit cheaper than the Trendlines.

Side bolsters look more supportive than the trendlines though. I think I'd probably prefer them over trendlines.

 

[Gally]

there nice especially with that yellow trim!
usually expensive tho...loving my leather recaros at the mo!

 

[Tom@JMS]

Found out people, they are Sport Trendlines, made specifically for the evo 8 MR, they make the "trophy" seats look silly overpriced! better pics:

guna look sex in my black gold

 

[ForceIndia]

Not trendlines fella, on all trendlines the lower (rib) bolsters appear larger than the shoulder bolsters, the opposite of the pics you've put up. As said, they are based on the recaro speed, but unique to the Evo IIRC. Still lovely seats, I'd just check that they don't have unique fittings that would require modding to make them fit the 182.

mmm the fella from capitol seating said they were trendlines variants, I might have to send a picture to them so they can double check

TBF he'll probably know more than me! Either way they are a cracking seat, they'll look very nice in a 182.

ok mate, thanks for your help anyway! for 350 sheets with subframes I'm laughing tbh, so even if there is a bit of 'adjustment' I will get them in lol.

Are the subframes from the evo?

 

[Tom@JMS]

yeah evo frames, going to whip them off and I'll probably take them to capitol seating or somewhere similar so they can compare them to standard recaro/clio frames which I will need one way or another.

 

[ForceIndia]

The standard trendlines need a subframe that then mounts onto the original frame on your current seats, so I'd imagine you will need new subframes. I'm sure someone fitted evo seats to a clio on here, might be worth having a search.

 

[Tom@JMS]

mmm getting complicated. I'll probably collect them and then a least I know what I'm up against, without seeing them and the subframes I cant really guess what I'll need

 

[ForceIndia]

It will be do-able, and they are a bargain. Even with new subframes they'll be under £500, which is a cracking deal for Recaro's.

A lad on here did a guide to fitting the Honda versions to a Clio so if you can find that it might help a bit

 

[Sir_Dave]

Tom, you just need the Recaro to clio subframes, then they will fit perfectly, just like i said in my pm :rasp:
