Me and my dad are having this debate about bucket seats I really like them and he thinks they will be stupidly uncomfortable, I'm looking for the really cushiony type does anyone have any idea where the best place is to get them?
 
You want half buckets. Look at rover mgzr type seats or smart car seats.

Ebay. Typed in car interiors.

I actually bought whole interior of the rover. Sold all the other bits so ended up in profit. Look around theres some good cheap deals. I do wish i had converted the sub from to landy one though. Simpler

Silly question if I bought any nice seat off eBay from for example a rover how do I go about with the sub frame? Do I have to take out the landy one and put in the one compatible for the new seats?
 
Haha. They are Recaro LSes, can be known as Recaro "highbacks" too.

They came in a lot of cars as optional extras in the 80s and 90s like BMW E30s, Golf MkIIs, Some Toyotas, Many of the fast fords like the Escorts and Sierras and XR2s and XR3s, R2000s and the likes.

They actually came in some Izuzu troopers too although a slightly different design.



I have two at the moment so need another pair as will be retriming them like the one in that picture then. They are in need of a refurb so got them pretty cheap. Mint cloth ones make about 300 euro a set or if they are a rare type like an Alpina interior from a BMW or limited edition VW interior, they can make a 1000 euro no problem as a complete interior. A pair of perfect leather ones or ones redone can make upto a thousand euro no problem.


You can get Recaro LXas too which are the same but the bottom bolster isn't as high which might suit people too as your not having to lift yourself out of the seat as much when getting out.

If I found four LX-as, I'd use those instead in the 110 and use the LSes in the front of my E30 330d Touring :)


Here's a good list of all the different types.

Obviously a set of four Recaro CSEs would be the ultimate seat to have but four of them alone would probably cost as much as your average landy :eek:
