Clio 182 Cup
Picked these up on eGay for £400 bnib Suckers paying twice that for 2nd hand Trendlines :rasp: I'm led to believe they are Sportlines (model up) and are OE in ATR's.
Noob question; does a 182 Cup have side airbags?
Where did people find the best deal was for the subs? I'm not arsed about using the Recaro handle.
Do I need to buy any bolts?
Any help at all appreciated.
Cheers

iirc the 182 cups don't have side air bags.

Just got some second hand recaros for my girlfriends 182, is it normal for them to take a substancial amount of effort to return the backrest to the upright position after tilting them forwards?
They also don't slide very easily on the runners, I'm assuming they just need greasing?

Yes the seats are difficult to return to upright position. I have a trophy and there is a nack to it. You slide the chair backwards and forwards using any part of the chair, and then when you want to put the chair back to upright position, you have to do it using the very top part of the chair where your head would touch if you put it back.
Hope this helps
I would like pay for spot height recaro subframe (angle of single parts ad high)

Clio 172 RS2
You'll be needing new subframes with runners!
Disliking the R26 R stitching... kinda like Seat Leon Cupra / VW Golf R32 typo.
But why not fit Recaro Sportster CS seats as seen in the Clio II RS phase III.
Renault partsnumber.:
Leather/Alcantara reference 6000072864 : 1490 euro
You can get these from Recaro but without the Renault Sport stitching!
And with or without side-airbags.
Think they say Sabelt on the tab
Hello to all, I would like to ask you some questions.
I wish to buy récaros for my clio rs 2004 ( 182 ) but I wish to keep(preserve) the internal harmony of the car. So i want a sport trendline or a sportster CS, but I am french, and I don't know the name in English of fabrics(tissues) used for clio rs on 2004
in french it's cuir/alcantara and in english i know that "cuir" = "leather" but I don't know which is the translation of "alcantara"
i want the same fabric than the clio 2 rs trophy's seat
i have looked on the website that you've quoted at the beginning of the post because it's cheaper than the recaro web site
http://www.capitalseating.co.uk/
i suppose that it's "dynamica" but i prefer to ask you before
excuse me for my poor english
Thanks to Reverso (translator website) for the help which it brings me

i have the recaros in my cup, and blacked out rear windows so from the outside you cant tell its a cheapo rear bench. i have a harness on the driver seat so no-one sits behind me and very rarely have anyone in the back, when i have they've not even noticed what their sat on......so ill live with them as they are, money would be better spent elsewhere. leathers look good though

Some further info for those interested:
The subframes fitted to Trophys and any other 182 that had the trendlines fitted from factory are different to those that you can buy aftermarket from Recaro.
You can tell if the subframes are aftermarket as the mounting brackets that sit on the inside (closest the handbrake lever) have a large hole drilled in them (about an inch in diameter at a guess) where as the ones on a 182 with factory recaros wont. There are other differences, but this one is the most obvious.
The aftermarket ones are also lower, hence why the Renault slide handle fouls the seat as seen on the guide listed on www.cliomods.com
Also the seats differ ever so slightly depending on whether they were fitted to the car from factory or aftermarket. The factory ones have a leather headrest whereas the aftermarket ones have a dinamica suede headrest.
The resistors you get from the likes of capital seating to extinguish the airbag light are also universal and therefore different to the ones you'll find on a 182 with
factory fitted Recaros.

The airbag module can be turned off using the renault clip system. I'd be suprised if a renault dealer would do this - but hey ho.
RS tuner module will also do it, I believe.
Any garage with a clip system can do it - I went to DDC (doncaster) and it was done for £25. Mick @ diamond motors on here etc etc will offer this service. Once its deactivated, its deactivated - so not sure what your garage is on about (unless they were going to try the resistor trick lol).

I went to the breakers yard today, cut the airbag plugs off of some dynamique seats, then soldered some resistors onto the remains of the wires coming out the plugs.
Makes it nice and easy to just plug them in and then unplug them when you want to refit your old seats. Alternatively you could get an airbag computer out of a cup
that's being broken for bits.

Is anyone familiar with the striped Recaro seats? According to http://www.cliotrophy.ch they were fitted into Clio Trophy's. But I cannot find any evidence, just two pictures of the seats only on ebay. I haven't found any other pictures, all Trophy's I found had the black alcantara/leather recaro seats.. Anyone here with pictures and information? What are they:

So if I were to source a 2nd hand set out of a Honda Torneo Euro complete with the subframes/rails - ( some of these cars have the Trendlines in them). Would they fit straight in to my 182, or do I need to buy some Recaro/Clio rails as well ?
Sorry if a dumb question....bear with me :-( I did look for answers.

I'm on my phone at the moment but if you look in my progress thread where I put the trophy recaros in my car I mentioned it in there.

As far as I know, the recaro sportsters in the mk3 Clio and mk3 megane are a straight swap.
I hope so. I'm picking the car up tomorrow (fingers crossed) and on the way back home I'm picking up the Recaro seats that were taken out of a Megane 265.
I've got a feeling I'll need to change the sub-frames.
