Black 197
just got mine from a dealer.. used ok but they have 2 for sale... 2 white cups if im not mistaken, Not sure where you are but these are in Beckenham/Bromley, kent... If you go to the dealer im sure they could source you a car or even tell them where one is and get them to get it for you ?? Just a thought
That's the talk of a man who wishes he had Recaros.
16k miles and mine are as good as the day I picked the car up.
The Recaros in the Trophy had much lower sides, so getting in and out was easier. If you slide in and out of the 197 Recaros you are bound to wear them out. People are just lazy.
The standard seats are fantastic, but I'd always go with the Recaros.
The standard seats are some of the most supportive standard seats I've sat in. Way better than previous Renaultsports.
There was a period where the Renaultsport forums were full of people moaning about the Recaros, but it appears to have settled down, since people have worked out how to get in and out of their cars. lol

182 seats were comfy, they just didn't offer any side support. On track you relied on the wheel to keep you in your seat, while the passenger was all over the place. lol
It's a shame they didn't finish the 197 seats and Recaros with leather bolsters though, it would certainly prevent the wear problems they have experienced. The grippy alcantara main, and leather sides were a pefect combo on the 172/182.
The current Recaros trimmed like this would be spot on:
That was after doing 42500 hard miles.
Jay has had full leather in his. It's like a quilted effect. To me it's better suited to a big comfy car, rather than a hot hatch. Can't argue with the quality though.
Clio 197 Cup
What you after a 197 standard or cup?
I picked up my brand new cup 3 weeks ago.
Price without options for cup your looking at- £12,900
Add my options (Nimbus paint £375 and black alloys £135) I also got aircon £550 option which when striking the deal I noticed they forgot to charge ha ha - sales phoned me next day to tell me they screwed up and that I'm gettin it for free! Great success.
If you got to Renaultsport website it will tell you price of options, think recaros are £850.
As people have said options are limited as they stopped making them!

Yeah I've had the leather acessory pack in mine not to get confused with the lux leather. The quality of the leather is spot on, if RS did recaros in leather I might of had them, but the standard seats in leather are plenty supported enough for me.
Lee - I need comfy leather seats now as I'm getter older, but not old enough to get a big rep cruiser yet LOL
