Notice anything strange with this trophy?

No Recaros. This subject has done the rounds already I think.
The trader may actually have been "done" on this one in that it is probably a part-ex where the previous owner has moved the Recaros on before selling the car thus getting about £500 more for their trade-in.
I doubt the trader's pulling a fast one as that car won't sell without the Recaros.

Yeah can't figure out why anyone would remove them. Could've been in a crash and bags deployed?

Well the front bumper has the little black tabs still on it suggesting no big front ender.
See post 7, I reckon that's what's happened.
The reason I say that is the description still says Recaro seats suggesting the trader doesn't know the difference or is trying to pull a fast one.
If he knew, would the trader have taken it in part-ex?

If I was gonna part ex my trophy I'd whip out the recaro's and sell them seperately like IS1 said however part ex'd it has probably got another £700 on top of the trade value (probably got more then than they would for the car privately). The garage obviously didn't notice any difference.

Its missing the splitter too!

I recon its straight tbh, previous owner may not have liked the trendlines (i don't find them uncomfortable and crap as an actual bucket seat) so changed them for normal rs seats.

Probably been in a shunt and the airbags in the Recaros went off.
No airbags in trendlines.

99.9% of the buying public wouldnt notice anyway lol ...

And yes, i would imagine that the previous buyer simply flogged the Recaro's on to boost his part-ex value.

If/when i sell mine, it will have a normal 1*2 interior in it, purely as i flogged the Trendlines yonks ago - they're sh1t anyway.

Unfortunately, your right.
Not as nice as they look tbh, but not terrible as an all-rounder road use seat.

I remember sitting in a trophy before i bought my 182 (driving it was the reason i bought my 182 actually) and thinking f**k me i'm uncomfortable!

They do look awesome though!

I reckon the trader knows it by now after calls/viewings! Looks like a Cliotrophy.net member owned car. It may be there a while that one.
I agree with the point about the Trendlines. The seating position generally isn't great but I'm not a big fan of them.
The Recaros in the 197/200 look a lot better.
