roadrunner_182 · Feb 16, 2005

Just been here http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/roadcars/clio182/news/story.asp?ArticleID=954www.renaultsport.co.uk/roadcars/clio182/news/story.asp?ArticleID=954 and its got the latest info on these seats and pics! They look smart i actually think they would look great!

Its got a price there for the cup and non cup 182 ...wonder if available to owners of 182s to upgrade?

Only other down side i guess is the whole side airbag thing...

I thought that was leather/alacantra?

Look good, be nice to see them in a car in the flesh.

tombourne182 · Feb 16, 2005

Be better with RenaultSport stitched into them - keep it real man.

blink172 · Feb 16, 2005

If you search clio discussion there are pictures of them on here. Under renaultsport options or something

They do look nice, but I hate to think how much theyll cost as an if you want to fit them to an existing car. You can get similar stuff, with the Renaultsport logo stitched in for free, from Cobra seats.

^^^ Agree but you wont have to tell your insurance company if its a factory fit option. so get some like that but with harness holes and renault stiched in small lettters and in a prang you could probably get away with it.

Have a look at this link for the actual seats

Will they not look massive in a little clio?

They seemed pretty big in the evo.

Im sure you have to tell your insurance company about such factory mods, having a particular spec Mini my premium was greater. Best to check at least.

Always thought minis would be an insurance nightmare with all those options! (and youre guaranteed to have at least half a dozen!)

That depends on the company. Im with First Alternative and they cover all factory fitted options in the value of the car as did Tesco. They are not mods, they are factory fitted options. If the car is trashed they can order the same car from the factory.

according to this page http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/roadcars/clio182/options.htm http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/roadcars/clio182/options.htm you loose the split rear seats

Recaro Sport Trendline front seats without lateral airbags (one piece folding rear seat in Graphic Night upholstery without rear headrests)

yea but im impressed none the less. For one they have harness points which i wouldnt get the seats without due to my future plans. Also recliners and they look nice, also gets rid of nasty rear seats in the 182Cup and hopefully a bit lighter than the standard seats although they are probably the same weight. probably more suportive than the 182 seats.

ohh and the 182cup doesnt get side air bags it just get cheaper front and rear granny seats. thankgod there is a offcial replacement for both ront and rear other wise it would look shat with just cool front seats and pap grey standard rear seats. £850 for front and rear is a good price IMO.

are they any lighter ?

rcp · Feb 16, 2005

doesnt say anything about weight

blink172 · Feb 16, 2005

You might as well buy better seat from an aftermarket supplier (Like Y0z) as they are bound to be cheaper and better quatlity/versions

Hippychick · Feb 16, 2005

They look gorgeous...

Jay · Feb 16, 2005

Not sure if I should of got these in my 182 coming 1st March?

blink172 · Feb 16, 2005

Have you already ordered, probably to late as they are factory options that youmight have needed to specify at POS.

If they say no, just go to demon tweeks or Y0z sport and get them cheaper

True but not much comfort to all the Cup owners out there...

I know its not a massive deal but a small part of me decided to buy the Cup as I was interested to see what Renaultsport options would come out as stated by Renault.

I just feel a little cheated that nothing ever happened and Renault have offered no explaination or appology.

Im not even sure you can order these yet, they are listed as an option but Im not sure you can actually add it to an order yet.

blink172 · Feb 16, 2005

Was it ever promised though or just rumours?
