What are the better seats, Cupra R cloth or Cupra full leather??

[Scotty_b]

for ppl that may care to know... seli and i were in the back of scotts car (oooo er!) a couple of weeks ago and i must say they were very nice.


but imo i wouldnt have them in my LCR for 3 reasons...


a.) not worth the money
b.) the unlucky person who sits in the middle of the rear seats will have less room and will not be comfortable and i cannot see the bolsters being happy with an adult sat on them!
c.) why make having sex in the car harder?!

I have to say:

a: I agree which is why i didnt get the recaros new with my car (it was £1200 just for the fronts when a few months before you could get the rears as well for that price) Got mine for nowt!

b: Technically you cant have anyone in the middle as the cars a four seater (you get a letter from seat with the car warning you of this). If you have a arm rest it makes it even worse

c; I cant get in the bloody back anyway so bonnet for me every time

I think its quality rather than being "different". My 2001 seats (golf GTI's) seem to be in as good nick as some ive seen from 2004 LCR's

I do find that the seat functions seem of a higher quality on the golf stuff - everything just feels better put together. I also quite like the black and red combo and the fact i'm not trying to look like a fake LCR

Will have to look at those, are yours the heated ones? Ive got the black and white check ones (same as the FR seats)

Mine

 

[UncleFester]

Identical bar colour then - does your drivers seat have a 'soft' bolster on the side you climb in over? I'll be getting a new foam base i suspect

 

[Scotty_b]

Yeah i looked at new seat recaro bolsters (£77 top £33 bottom +vat if i remember) But they seemed very soft compared to the old ones

 

[UncleFester]

That seems a reasonable price, i've retrimmed seats before so no great surprises instore there. Might get around to it but i'm not that wide in the ass region so not too worried

 

[Scotty_b]

You saying i have a fat ass! haha
Need to sort out what im doing with them i think

 

[UncleFester]

Well i have the wiring finally worked out and confirmed for the airbags now so if you need it and can't find your original info you're welcome to use mine.

Are you talking about with the rear recaro's or as a normal car? Just checking as the car is listed as a 5 seater and they wouldn't put a centre shoulder strap seat belt in the car if it was only a four seater.

He's talking about the rear Recaro bench only

The differences between recaro and standard are not enough to cover the £750 extra price tag.....

I disagree, the Recaro's are much firmer and after a couple of years and 70k miles you can tell the difference compared to the standard seats of a similar age/mileage car.

Each to their own though.

'sportbilly'

when you hand the car back, fancy doing a swap on the seats ?!?

As you say each to their own just think £1200 is better spent snowboarding for 2 weeks in the US.

im going to be a bit different and say i love the full leather in my Leon Cupra. i had an Rx8 with full "leather" before the leon and the leather in that car was CRAP!

the optional LCR recaros are very nice though.
