Exmoor Elite Sports Seats
Hi Folk's

I'm looking at the above seats but in a vinyl finish. Just wondering does anyone have them in vinyl and what is the material like?, do you wish you went for leather?

There are other threads on here discussing other makes to seats too.
I went for Corbeau in vinyl. I figured that given the chance of damaging a seat, I'd be less upset if it was just vinyl.
Very happy so far, though I did have to drill extra holes in the base to move the seat back as seat runners made it too high for me. Still able to squeeze stuff out from the underseat boxes but would need to remove the seat to do any work in there.

The 'Sportline RRS' version have the lower side bolsters specifically for climbing into higher vehicles like the defender. The 'standard' version have a much higher side.

I have just ordered these exact seats with Exmoor in their black friday sale...

Received an email confirmation the next morning warning that the lead time could be as much as 12 weeks due to the usual reasons.....

Gave me the option to refund of course and it was pretty well expected having done some research (and Bearmach estimate a February deliver date on their website too....).

I was quite attracted but the 'OEM' style benefits of XS half leather trim to fit with rears as I quite like the style - plus compatible with factory heaters, removeable seat base and adjustable lumbar.

What I can't seem to find on a search is whether the seats are actually any good when they eventually do arrive - everyone just says get the recaro/Corbeau....

Guess I'll find out some point in 2022......

I went for the high sided seat as I like the snug fit. Not sure all my larger passengers appreciate it!

Terrible quality
Bought a pair in leather , shockingly poor quality. After 6 months asked for some helping and exmoor basically told me to do one. Thankfully I kept hold of my Land Rover original leather seats
