premier recaros

[stu1873]

i am thinking of upgrading my seats to a pair of prem recaros. is there any known defects i should look out for when i go to look at them?

they are from a 55 plate ctr and does anyone know if i will be able to fit them into the back of my ctr with the rear bench down?

When I picked up a pair I removed the front seat before I left and fitted the Recaro there, and put the other seat in the back as I am not sure whether 2 would fit. If they do, it will be a bit awkward (they weigh a tonne) and you will probably scratch your interior when lifting them in and out (the rails have sharp edges).

cheers nick.

i will remove the passenger seat when going to look at them.

any ideas what the going rate for recaros are?

these ones are up for £450

 

[NickCTR]

Usually 500 and above so that sounds a good deal, if they are mint.

 

[stu1873]

look ok in the pics

i hope they are not too good a price to be true

 

[NickCTR]

Yeah they look good mate. Far to collect?

 

[stu1873]

about 40 miles away so not too bad

 

[hovblackctr]

Bargain!

These the ones of ctro?

 

[stu1873]

aye, these are the one's on ctro

 

[NickCTR]

Snap them up quick if they are on CTRO too.

[NickCTR]

I did the same when I collected mine. I took the passenger seat out and laid a few old sheets over the back to protect the interior.
Then I fitted the drivers seat whilst there so I had just the one standard seat to bring back, which is easier to transport.
I managed to get the carpet and doorcards in too, so you should be fine.

A fine purchase :smt023

bummer, the seller now states that a plastic part underneath the drivers seat is cracked which is allowing the bolster to move.
he only wants 350 ovno for them now and i may still buy them if i can source a replacement part.
the only plastic part i can think of would be the part attached to the seat rails on the side.
would these rails fit the prem ep3 recaros?

[stu1873]

bought them and love them too, a massive diference over my old standard one's

Great seats for a great price.

How are you getting on with the defect?

 

[stu1873]

the underside of the seat is made of plastic and by the looks of it they were in a ctr that had been hit on the drivers side resulting in some part of the platics splitting. the side bolster was a bit loose but with the seats having the part under the bolster to support it i would have got away with leaving it.

today i decided to rectify the seat and i have used araldite to hold the split parts back to thier origional positions and the bolster is solid once again.

well chuffed

They will fit in fine with the seats down, I collected a set of JDM seats in my old EP3 with no hassle at all, cover rails with blankets and you'll be home scratch free.
