Recaro Seats ??
Looking at getting a pair of Recaros and having not seen them close up wanted to know any views on which finish might be my best option.

These are going into my 130 that at present has plain black fabric seats so to roughly match the rear one I was contemplating Ambia (Vinyl) or the Ambia (Vinyl) and Alcantara ?

I have leather and alcantara, not especially practical but I guess it depends on what you use the truck for

A few different Recaro seats ?

If Gen Landrover SVX ones

Mine,, the passenger can slum it !! found it a excellent seat, especially on alpine hairpins, with the extra side support Smile

You can get tailored seat covers for the CS now, so you don't have to have the fake leather ones if you use your Defender. have you looked at the Corbeau RRS seats, quite a big saving on the Recaro CS, it is also available with white stitching to match the XS interior. 90 300 TDI SW (sold)

Yes plan on getting from Simon at UT Thumbs Up

I usually have waterproof covers on seats due to my dogs so possibly the Ambia with waterproof covers could be the way to go.

Don't like to Corbeau ones Sad

I am after a pair of Recaro seats as well, spoke to UT the other day but was quoted more than they wanted for the same on their EBay shop. They did say they would fit them for free. Make sure you get the mod done so the seat bases are removable. 90 300 TDI SW (sold)

Corbeau
I've just had a set of corbeau rss fitted by LRI with higher cubby box and momo steering wheel and the 250mile too and from was like night and day.......we originally had the half leather xs and I just found my posture was all wrong.
The RSS keep you upright and are superbly comfortable. Oh and 1" positioning closer to gearbox also contributes to making travel a litle more comfortable.

RSS highly worth investing in....I went for low sides and getting in/out is easy....the wife loves the comfort but thinks they look tacky Rolling with laughter So far my chums have not worked out their vinyl. I went for black stitch as they look more classy.

You really need to see them in the flesh...thy look so much better.

Also excellent service from the LRI chaps!

Go get!

^^ They not only look great, but when you sit in them, they are even GREATER Exclamation Thumbs Up You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.
