Its ridiculous the money these go for, imo they rant even nice, uncomfortable and pretty crap, i guess because they are OE they hold mega value!

For what its worth, the Megane ones are better being full leather (wear on the trophy ones is a known issue)

agreed with the above tbh, not very cumfy, sit too high, look the part though and don't seem to be wearing too badly! I sit much lower and twice as comfortable in my dci!

I've said this for years - the only reason I would put them in the Megane is purely to sell it on for the OMGZZZZZ Recaro's! brigade....

I think my full fats look far nicer albeit as supportive as the Recaros... i.e useless.

Recaros are much better than the standard seats in every sense. The standard ones are sprung foam ffs.

I find them much better for my posture, I find it impossible to slouch in them and they're not like OTT buckets but still have decent support around your shoulders. Much better than standard at least.

I suspect most of the "Recaros suck" band either don't own a Clio or haven't even sat in them.

lol. I've had 2 sets, both been terrible for my back. far too much lumbar support and not even adjustable.

Your wrong I'm afraid, I've had 2 trophies, the lad above prefers the seats in his dci, and Clart also says they arn't very good.
However as you said, they are much better than the standard clio sport seats.

  Mint 1*2's for sale-
I had & sold about 20 Sets of recaros over the time.

They have never sold for less than £750 & always sold within a day ( mostly on Ebay )

they are great comfortable seats- perhaps the people that don't like them just don't fit in them ;)

I don't like them because they are not comfortable (for me). They look great though.

I found them ok, the only problem I had with my recaros were the fact that they were the full Leather ones so when you were pressing on you slid about the seat a bit

Out of interest then, why would you buy a 2nd Trophy if you hate them so much? Did you remove them to sell or just stick with them because you secretly like them?

At no point have i said i hate them, i have simply said the price they go for is ridiculous (full S3 recaro interior from around the same period can be bought for less)

i'd counter your point 'I suspect most of the "Recaros suck" band either don't own a Clio or haven't even sat in them.'
with the only people who defend them are the people who own them ;)

I love my Recaro's and prefer them to full leather... never been a fan of squeaking and sliding about everywhere!

Fair enough, you wouldn't own them if you thought they were bad though. Worth much more on eBay than they are in a Clio.

I guess have held their value so well as they're a straight swap for standard seats without having to spend £X on subframes. So in that respect they're not bad value at all.

And it is down to the individual it seems. Clart mentioned too much lumbar support, I personally love that.

FLOL. "if you dont like them I suggest you lay off the pies" :rasp:

I really like the Trophys Recaros, coming from Recaro Sporster CS's in the Meg 250 they seem a good middle ground and a nice touch for the interior IMO.
