putting recaros in a cupra t

[putridmocha]

ive done a search and couldnt find anything related so forgive me if this is a repost. Id like to change the dull cupra t front seats for some cupra r recaros, is this an easy change over or is there an easier solution?
cheers

Very easy swap, they fit right in. Only difference is you will need the middle seat belt for the rear - it bolts to the chassis as opposed to being on the actual rear sets itself.

Hard thing is finding a set for a decent price!

I saw some on a breaking for 250, is that about right?

Proper MK1 Leon Cupra R Recaros for £250? Do they look like this -with the Recaro logo on them:

If so that is a bargain - snap them up straight away!

If they are just the standard Cupra R seats then I would be looking to pay no more than £150 - £200.

I thought they were all like that

Sadly not - the Recaros are a rare option and you don't see many around.

They normally sell for around the £400 mark.

Standard LCR seats are like these:

There is a big difference between the two types - trust me I have the Recaros in my LCR now and they are great

Oh right cool learn something new every day!
The eBay ones are What I'm after and that will do nicely, thanks

And the rear recaros are more like individual seats and a tiny middle seat

Just brought myself full s3 recaro leather for mine for £350 and all wired up including heated elements, so much more comfy and supportive then standard seat and just fit straight in, just have to do the wiring.

They look sweet, the only thing that puts me off leather is the work to keep them nice. That said there is some nice s3 blue and black leather recaros on there. Just needs a few extra pennies!

The plug for the airbags will be different as i found out when i put mk4 golf recaros in my cupra.

S3 recaros bolt straight in but you will need to change the airbag plugs over and wire the motors up too to get the backrest and height adjustment.

You got any pics mate?

Yeah I'll take some and post ASAP for you, having the heated seats working in this weather is a god send!
