Hi all.Currently in the market for a new coupe. tongue Have noticed there are a couple of different style leather seats about.I know about the recaros but have had a look at a coupe with air bags in the seat sides.Are these just standard but with airbags?

For the 20vt models there are four types of leather seat.

There are standard seats
Standard seats with airbags (fitted to the later cars)
Recaros (they have a perforated leather on them) fitted to plus and LE's
Airbag Recaros fitted to the last of the plus models.

definately sounds like the one i had a look at on sat..the side bolsters weren't as protrusive as the recaros on the le's..?

They will be standard late six speed seats,slightly bigger bolster and softer leather I believe but not Recaro.This is getting complicated!

Standard cloth seats.

Standard leather seats.

Cloth seats which had the same shape as Recaros but were also fitted with air bags, very late 6 speed model.

Black Recaro with black stitching, fitted again to late 6 speed models.

Black Recaros with red stitching fitted to only the plus models.

Airbag Recaros with red stitching fitted to the last of the plus models.

LE, well we all know this one.

The standard 6 speed without Recaros just had standard black leather, they wasn't a 6 speed leather.
