Folding sports seats

Car  Clio 182 Cup
Does anyone know of any recaros or that style front seats that can be fitted that still allow then to be folded to give access to the rear seats?

I was thinking of maybe some Honda or ford ones but not sure if I can get them to fit.
 
You're looking for a "reclining bucket seat" (as opposed to a "fixed bucket" seat). Do read the product info though as there are a couple that adjust but DO NOT fold to allow rear passengers. Seriously there's loads of em, just have a look on Sparco, Cobra, Recaro, Corbuea etc website. Huge range in price from about £180 to £1000 PER SEAT.

Best bet is ebay or classifieds on here tbh.



EDIT: On second thoughts I'm not 100% sure what you're asking lol? Are you asking which OEM bucket seats fit a clio? As in you're thinking of grabbing the seats out of a Focus RS or Civic Type R etc?

Most/all OEM fitted bucket seats are just rebranded/retrimmed standard seats. E.g. Most Evos used "plain old" Recaro Trendlines - exactly the same as you could buy from somewhere like Demontweeks. I believe the Focus RS uses Ford-trimmed Recaro Sportsters (?)

Virtually all seat manufacturers make Mk2 Clio subframes.

Evo recaro's and Accord type R trendlines are popular "alternatives" to Trophy recaro's...

Need subframes though which can get pricey!
 
Trendlines are gash, look nice but I think even the standard seats are more supportive. Sold mine and got some Cobras which are miles comfier/supportive in my opinion. Dunno what the fascination with Trendlines is really.
 
Sat in these the other day, proper comfy and quite supportive.

I was just being nosey! More than happy with my cobras for now. Was just curious as to the why the love for the Recaros on here.

Mk1 Williams/Valvers had the comfiest seats ever!
 
Ive just got some Cobra Daytonas, my god they are comfy. im not too sure how supportive they are as i never really chuck it into the twistyz.
 
+1 for Daytonas. Awesome seats for the price, very comfy and pretty supportive although the bolsters could do with a bit of reinforcement.
Wider seats too and with X-low subframes they make the car so much better.
 
I've seen Mk 2 Focus RS seats in a 182 before. The car was down at Stone Automotive for abit. Looked cool as fcuk. BIG BIG money though
