If they are the same as the ones in the 200 they will fall to bits on a few months.

Be nice if they were re-trimmed at some point like this http://www.edgeautomotive.co.uk/?portfolio=cobra-clubman-vinyl-retrim

EDGE Automotive do some nice work, They've also got some of these seats in a golf in their portfolio. Also have a look at plush automotive and various other places for ideas if you were planning to re-trim them in the future. :happy2: :laugh:

Seats from the mk2 Focus RS, Corsa VXR and Clio 197 all go in with a bit of tweaking.

If you learn to bounce in and out there absolutely fine I did 33k on mine with no wear and next owner dug a hole at 40k

Mine were OK when my R27 went to its new home. It had done about 28K at the time, I think.

If they're like the other CS's you can just buy the appropriate subframes from Recaro, around £180 per seat, for individual application.
