    Corsa VXR Recaros fitted

    I'd say so. I've seen some guy put a pair in a Clio 182 so as long as they physically fit you'll just have the task of bolting runners to them Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Corsa VXR Recaros fitted

    I was lucky to get them for £400, usual price on ebay is around £700 ish for these... but yeah still cheaper than renault ones. I might get em retrimmed at some stage, quite fancy the fabric bit in the middle done in alcantara

    Corsa VXR Recaros fitted

    Got the drivers seat fitted. All good thus far, no warning lights or airbags blowing my head off, I'm quite surprised lol. Turns out the seats also have height adjustment which is mint as I thought they were going to be too low. I've managed to retain the seat position sensor and seat belt...

    Knocking noise in steering

    My car seems to have developed a knocking noise coming from the front of the car. It occurs at low speeds when turning the wheel and most notably when going over bumps. You can kinda feel it through the pedals. Ive had the manifold replaced recently with a Toyosport one, at first I thought it...

    Corsa VXR Recaros fitted

    Managed to pick up a pair of immaculate seats from a corsa VXR at a steal (£400!!) with the hope that they *might* be made to fit the Clio. They are fairly similar to the Renault Recaros i believe (although I've never looked at a pair) just a different fabric. As the mounting pattern for the...

    standard seat wiring

    Hello, I'm trying to fit some vxr recaros in my clio and I'm just trying to piece together the wiring.. Please correct me if I'm wrong but from tracing the wires from the recaros this is what it seems like: The drivers recaro seat has 3 plugs; 1 airbag, 1 seatbelt sensor, 1 pretensioner sensor...

    Question on recaro seats

    managed to pick up a set out of a corsa vxr this week, absolute bargain at £400 for the set in immaculate condition! anyways, I'm in the process of removing the runners as they're obviously from a corsa so wont fit the clio. There seems to be a compressed spring attached to a wire going into the...

    Question on recaro seats

    So I'm after a set of recaro seats for my Clio 197. The renaultsport ones are a bit hard to come by (and fetch a lot more) so I wondered about a set out of a corsa vxr. Can this be done? I understand that the frames will be different but would I just need a set of Renault subframes? Also would...

    hi guys so my clio has a really annoying grinding noise which is only on full lock to the left, had the car up on the ramp this morning at a local garage (for other issues unrelated :() and could see when you turn the wheel all the way, the inner rim of the wheel is rubbing on what i think is...
