Which Recaros are these and also remind the , the ones in the TT roadster? Look v snug and I bet you'd save a good 25-30 kgs with those seats over standard.

I'd be interested to know too how you got those fitted without lights etc, look pretty smart.

 

[N8]

Yes they are Recaro CS, they weigh 15kg each as opposed to 30kg in the TT, made alot of difference and they are VERY VERY comfortable.

Ooooh, one more I forgot, Ben's CS's from his EOS:

 

[S3RYE]

Any more pics of the eos nath?

[S3RYE]

Always liked them. I like that they're rare + whenever i see them I think to myself I can make one of them look sweet. That ones lovely but I'd loose the chrome grill for alu one then it's perfect

 

[robby_jai]

yup airbagless!!

you get a special capacitor which just shorts out the airbag error light!

The OEM seat weighs 25 kilo grams. These things weigh 12 kilos!! Remove two and thats a fair bit of weight saving!!!!!

These are the Recaro Sportster CS.

These are the OEm stuff you get on the Ford Focus RS, the Lotus Evora and also the Renaul Clios and Megane (sports and special edition cars)

they are actually REALLY REALLY comfy and I honestly think much better than OEM audi seats. I am not keen on the OEM audi Seats. I actually think my MKV R32 has better seats than the Audi Jobbies.

Thanks Ry, ordered!

No worries Nath. They are an option for me. I just don't know how to get the seat heating working..

 

[N8]

You'd have to order new elements then plugs etc....elements and plugs are about £300 iirc

May as well get the new looms £340 all in.

 

[ross_mac92]

the RS4 bucket or recaro ones, and do you know a price on them?

 

[N8]

All depends, brand new CS's in cloth are £1400, RS4 interiors usually on ebay for full interiors for about £2k

 

[sean3794]

is the rs4 a straight swap or do you need further mods

 

[N8]

You just need to trim to lug locators off the bottom, and its a straight fit. I've wired up all my bolsters so they are fully electric and inflatable Yours a sportback or 3 door?

 

[sean3794]

n8 can you put some pics of yourse up please

Recaro have the CSs on the their website got £750 to 950ish if you want the airbags, with leather or leather/alcantara.

 

[N8]

Airbag'd ones are more expensive yes.
