Pav's Albi Blue 197T

[Pav]

yeah thats my worry..just need something decent but without a Recaro price tag...

 

[DS197]

will be Ben..leaving it for now for a road use but comes Bedford,this baby is going full track mode

you know that was my thought when i saw this photo on my pc..there are a few other options on ebay..been looking but dont know whether they fit or how would they look..
1.1st option

2. 2nd option

what do you guys think??

Those BB6s are the first set of bucket seats i've seen that look OEM+ and like they were made for the Clio. If you could get the the Renault sport logo embroidered, that would finish them off nicely! I've already got Recaros, but i'm seriously considering getting the BB6s now

Meh I know they’re a shit load cheaper but if it were me I’d just save up for the real thing...

 

[trackspec197]

@Conrad has some seats for sale similar to those Pav

 

[Pav]

i'd love to save for a pair of Recaro but there's always something..that breaks or that needs replacing etc etc..i'll never save up for a proper pair..unless i win big time

No your issue is you want them now


Don’t play that game with all the expensive parts on your car buddy

You've seen the sparco and 6 point set up I've got in mine, best thing about seats is they can be transferred to any car in the future.

 

[trackspec197]

It depends what you're using the car for too. If you need the rear seats then you won't be able to go fixed back, you'll need recliners.

 

[Pav]

thats the thing boys..my is a daily so need something decent,that i wont hate everytime i need to get in or out..
as good as your is Tom,i need to be able to use every day...

 

[Chris]

I’d get a branded and reviewed seat Pav... doesn’t even have to be recaro.

 

[Pav]

will keep looking for sure..not buying anything atm just had a quick look on ebay the other day...

Seats are a pretty big deal in a car and you need to get ones you're 100% happy with. It is a shame that Recaros are so expensive, and that there are fitment issues with aftermarket ones.... nothing is ever straightforward is it!

My seat retrimmer spoke very poorly of the safety, construction and finish on cheap seats in passing recently. Said anything like top-end seats are a World apart. And seeing as it's something you use EVERY single time you use the car - i'd be wary of 'cheap' seats buddy for all the reasons above.

....sell some great reclining seats at not silly money. Also all the runners, adaptors etc too.

If you were to get a fairly new out seat; i believe most have a life-cycle of around two years. Meaning you could buy them one at a time making the ££££££ a little easier.

Have fun if you do. How exciting !

What are the actual seats called that come in a 197/200? Are they Recaro CS?

Yes - they were the optional seats.

Recaro CS....or 'Cross Sportster'. An option on a 2017 Focus RS i'm told. Must have been around some years therefore (?)

£1000 + per seat plus options on GSM. That for real??

 

[Pav]

a grand for a seat??where are you seeing this Ben??

£1000 + per seat plus options on GSM. That for real??

Yes. And why they still make £700 a pair hanging in bits, £1200 for great late-model cloth set or £1500+ in Leather.

I saw an Audi A8 Leather interior (Recaro CS Fronts [Called wingbacks in Audi's], rear bench, doorcards etc) sell for £4k not that long ago on ebay. Hence why i had mine done with no logo on to make them universal.


****Cobra Pav ? Used by some of the best / most iconic racers out there. Won loads of awards for comfort/build etc and a British company !
