Recaro seats #934585 14/11/2009 20:26 14/11/2009 20:26
S siloman Unregistered
siloman Unregistered S	Ive always found it strange that the Recaro seats in an le or plus are not branded with the logo All other cars with Recaro seats fitted as standard seem to be. Why ? Only Recaro logo'd seat i could find with anything to do with the Coupe was in a German optional extras catalogue showing half leather Recaro seats that do look the same as the plus and le seats. Any ideas Optional extra's catalogue

Gamu Unregistered G	Originally Posted By: neil20vt I thought they were Recaro styled seats rather than genuine recaros? Might be wrong. In a previous thread someone said that the normal Plus/LE sets were genuine Recaros, it was only the late airbag style seats that were Recaro copies. It is odd that the seats weren't branded if they were genuine Recaros, especially when the Brembos were branded when a lot of cars have non-branded Brembos. Gareth

Why ? As said, the Delta HPE had the same seats in alcantara, WITH Recaro-branding (+ Lancia), see mine: http://sfk.ibk.se/depa/showfile.php?carpic_no=837&type=picture Definately Recaro's then, they also share the typical Recaro triangle reclining knobs (so do the LE/plus ones).

Indeed it did, not all of them were branded either. It happens that my Tipo has branded Recaro's. Perhaps Fiat felt it did not suit the Coupe image.

S siloman Unregistered
siloman Unregistered S	I asked Recaro about the seats in the option brochure and heres the response / Quote: Thank you for your e-mail. Unfortunately I do not have any information on that seat, it would have been designed specially for Fiat and probably available as an option when buying a new Coupe from Fiat. Therefore it was not sold in the aftermarket. It is highly unlikely that you would get hold of one now as it was over 10 years ago, occasionally the odd seat pops up on E-bay, it may be worth keeping your eye on that. I have checked the base frame list I have here to see if the aftermarket seats would be suitable for your car, but unfortunately Recaro do not produce a fitting kit for the Fiat Coupe. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I will keep your details and if I hear of anything I will let you know. Kind regards. Recaro UK.
