Recaro's in an early 182

[jackincaves]

So I've read that the Recaro Trendline's were only an option in later cars?

I have them in my '04 (registered 08/06/04) so I'm a bit confused. I also have the poverty-spec rear bench and surely it's unlikely that someone retrofitted the Recaro's afterwards and went to the trouble of also making the rear seats worse?!

If Recaros were speced as a option, the poverty rear bench came with them. Good old Renault.

That's what I mean when I say that it seems unlikely someone retrofitted them at a later date, but I've read that they weren't an option until 2005?

Oh I see.

Sorry I misread your opening post.

Maybe the person that fitted them had a buyer for both front and rear seats. He possibly want the whole 'Trophy' feel/spec inside the car? Stranger things have happened.

Is it impossible for them to have been fitted at the factory? I know the guy I bought it from thought they were factory-fitted.

Is there any way of finding out how the car was shipped (with what options and when etc) using the VIN or something?

Have you got the sport door cards, or cup/trophy ones?

No idea. They're alcantara.

Looks like someone has gone to the effort of swapping the rear bench then I think. Not 100% sure though

 

[jackincaves]

Well top marks to them for effort.
