Fitted my Recaro Trendlines

[JamboM3]

So decided i had had enough of sitting "on" my Clio and would prefer to sit "in" it instead. Also tired of back pain feeling like i was sat in a childs play school seat, i went and spunked some cash on these:


Recaro Trendlines:
OEM as used in the Clio Trophy

So out with the old:

And in with the new:

Interior is filthy and i need new mats, sorry for pic quality was on my point and shoot digi cam!

Oh and the outside for those that don't know:

Comments welcome

:wave:

Just awesome! :approve: The perfect set of seats!

 

[JamboM3]

P.S 100% Improvement, seats are a tad firmer but so much more supportive and the car appears to handle better as the body roll is reduced (well, you THINK it has because your not roling around inside hehe)


Stupid money though and fitting was a pig, resistor mod was pap and now airbag light is on, need to re solder them i think

Nice!

Although there's very little difference in actual seating height, it certainly feels better.

 

[*Badger*]

Lovely. PM me if/when you sell them
Expensive option aren't they brand new with new subframes / pre-tensioners?

 

[oliver.james]

Very nice :approve:

 

[Tommy_C]

Absolute p**n, muchos jealous!

 

[VIICarCare]

phooaaaar! Wish they were factory fit in the vee

 

[pritchard182]

i payed £800 for mine was enough for me. i personally thawt that they are over rated by cs members very nice seats imo but dont change seating position much. liquid yelo is p**n cant wait for mine :approve:

 

[Mr Pants]

Awesome mate!

 

[JamboM3]

It's low enough for me tbh, you never can get that proper driving position in a small hatch your always going to feel a tad high. I think they are far better though and you also don't have to reach as far forth gearlever I found and the under knee support is something I have missed as I had it on the M3 and the old Gsi

Thanks for the comments, I doubt I will ever remove them from the car so I will have a set of standard seats for sale soon

 

[subarufreak]

how much did these set you back in all??? looks spot on though

 

[Ash87]

looks awesome, loved the look of mine really smartens the interior up, glad the meg has them as std as i bet they wernt cheap brand new!

why was fitting a nightmare?

 

[mwn11]

I think i hate you

Personally, the Perfect clio.

 

[SteveS Cup]

God I need some of these in my life! It's the one last thing I desperately want to do to mine!

Although I am considering some DC5 Recaro's on some custom subframes to get them really low.

 

[VeinAST]

Nice but definitely over-rated.

 

[st3ve]

Very good seats, when I'm not kicking it's head in I twist it back to get a better driving position.

When your in the bolt upright position it is a little high but for a daily driver these are the best seats.

 

[The Boosh!]

Did you buy these new Jambo? how much where they!?

Look mint

 

[st3ve]

Did you buy these new Jambo? how much where they!?

Look mint

In excess of £1,000 surely.

 

[jenic]

My friend gets discount when ordering direct from recaro, and including a supposed 40% discount the price was £1050 inc subframes for the clio!

 

[Addz]

New seats make the car so much nicer, standard renault seats are shite.

 

[freemo77]

gorgeous seats, brand new as well, bet that set you back, but definitely worth it

 

[fUbAr]

They certainly look the part, but in reality they're not much better then the standard chairs.

Should have got the SportsterCS if you wanted reclining

 

[UrbanD]

I want those seats :approve: the look and feel so much better! Great upgrade dude!

 

[JamboM3]

Wanted to keep the car OEM, the ones you posted fubar are from the R27 etc, so would have not looked right and they are FAR better than standard?! Bizare comment.

£1600 odd for the seats including everything, silly money.

Fitting was hard because the resistor mod was poop. The ones capital seating reccomend are to large basicly. BEtter off soldering than crimping.
