Recaros in the 197

[Graham Gooch]

Whats the score on these,

As i can see it on the renaultsport site, they are not available on the options list

anyone know when they are to become available?

 

[Revels]

No offical realease as of yet afaik!

People will post what a salesman has told them, but we all know not to believe that! lol

bummer, those seats are gorgeous and i guess with all the other options added could make a nice replacement for the 182

 

[kully]

even 4 the 172 cup .............heehe

 

[Gareth]

they are sweet, but not available yet.

 

[Fletcher]

Strange that you still cannot get as a option considering EVO and Autocar both had them in their press cars.

 

[Tom]

The seat is availble from recaro, its on thier site.

 

[BIG jts]

They were in the latest 197 memo i got a work a few weeks ago, just says available soon cant remember if there was a price??? i'll have a look at work tomorrow..

 

[ChrisR]

Would be around £800 I'd guess, same as for the Megane?

 

[Storm_Force]

Ain't seen a pic of these, anyone got a link?

 

[Gareth]

i've got pics of them in the 197 at the motorshow, but they didn't come out great. They are completely different to the Recaros for the Megane.

 

[charlieogden]

They are £850 and they will be on the options list from October 06 said Autocar

 

[JJ!]

^^ old post I thought I would bring up.... are the seats still not available??? whats going on?? Renault waiting to do cup/trophy model???

 

[Storm_Force]

seat are available now for £850 oh and if you want the nice seats you can't have the nice stereo.. I kid you not! There is not enough space under the recaro seats for the amp that come with the 6 disk headunit.

 

[Mett]

I remember thinking £500 seemed low. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CN4jH...elated&search=

Seats have been availiable for some time dealers havn't relaised/been told.

Seats are superb I'd only buy a 197 with them.

 

[Fred@BTM]

i sat in a 197 at Autosport with them fitted, not bad, but not fantastic

oh and it had "the spoiler pack" looks like it crashed into halfords! (had th gash white speedlines too)

 

[Munson]

^^They are not available to select as an option on the Renaultsport website.

That's cool. I suppose it's too much to ask that Renault update their website. Shocking, as usual

 

[Fletcher]

I've got that booklet too.

 

[Storm_Force]

LOL what that all about, smokers pack £15 ? Do you get a renault magic tree or something :lolup:

LOL yeah! Ford have been doing this for years - my mate bought a Fiesta Zetec S back in 2000, and they wanted £50 for the smokers pack - all you got for that was an ashtray, and a cigarette lighter instead of a normal power outlet. :S

 

[Mike-bham]

^ Yeah I asked about that too, what a load of B*ll*cks!

If people wanna smoke in their car, use a lighter and open the window!
Not that I even let people near my car with a lit fag!

 

[Storm_Force]

Strange I got an ashtray and fag lighter with mine anyway :S

Might be old news, but has some pics.

 

[Ali]

I sat in the 1/2 leather 1/2 alcentara today at the show! AWSUM! 763 Per seat! PMSL!

 

[dje]

hello,

does someone have pics of the seats in the car?

 

[ColinG]

surely those frames could be made aaalloooot lower than that!?!

 

[Englebert]

After sitting in the Recaros at Autosport i just couldn't have them without, they were the f**king sex!

I'm a skinny lad and they still held me tight.

 

[ColinG]

would these recaro's fit in a v6 255?

 

[Englebert]

May as well buy them from Capital Seating or Demon Tweeks with Recaro subframes.

 

[rcp]

They are listed on the Renaultsport.co.uk build your car section now - not available with the CD Changer.

 

[al]

They are the worse recaros i've sat in, probably because renault have buggered about with them putting airbags on the sides etc.

Give me the Trophy/Meg R26 recaro's ANY day!

 

[MattyMarsh]

They are the worse recaros i've sat in....

How come ?. That would be dissapointing, considering how nice the Trophy Recaros are.

 

[.:Deano:.]

Ive managed to get 197 seats in my new 138 which is on order. Should be with me by 1st march, but will not be fitted by manufacturer, renault will fit them when they recieve them car for me.

The padding just feels too thin that they've covered them with.

The Trophy seats are lush.

 

[polarbert]

Pah, whats the point in putting lateral airbags in them. Just more expense should someone crash into you. And more weight.

 

[Storm_Force]

both recaro seats weigh 6 kg in total.. is that right?

 

[Karlos182]

That's what I read too. So, weight-wise, it's not really an issue. I know I'd have the Recaros if I was ordering a new 197.
