Where have all the 172 Cup rear seats gone?

[172cupben]

my clio 172 cup, like many others it seems have had their rear seats removed for weight saving reasons presumably. I am using my cup for speed hilllimbing - great fun but stiff competition from cars with much more horsepower and 4wd in some cases. My dilemma is that to compete in the road going class I actually need to have the rear seats in place. So I thought it would be easy to source a set of cup specific (as they are lighter I'm told) rear seats. Given the number of cups that have had seats removed I'm really surprised to report that I can't find any anywhere - does anyone on the forum have any suggestions where I can find a set? I have another hillclimb in Charmouth Dorset this weekend so a little late for this weekend but any help you guys can give me would be appreciated.

Thanks,
​Ben

Have a search on here, there's a couple of Traders that break cars and if they don't have any there will be a fair few members who have stripped/breaking their cars so I'm sure someone will have them for you.

If you pay the £12 to become a member you will be able to see all the Traders sections and also put a proper wanted thread up which will get you a lot more views.

Welcome btw mate!

Mine went to the tip. No one wants them except you lol.

If you were a member you'd be able to try some of the people who are breaking them in the for sale section.

if you're still struggling to source cup rear seats, some non sport clio's have pretty basic rear seats with no head rests which could be pretty light?
