 Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Hy Guys, I have bought a pair of Recaro Sportster Cross CS at Urban Automotive (Sponsor of this site), and I'm happy with ! Quite easy to fit. I have change the side of the rear level to put them on the interior side instead of the exterior side. The kit of little pieces needed was delivered with the seats. 2,4 Puma 110 SW Light gray |

EDIT: Mine are genuine LR ones with the LR logo, reupholstered to match the Ice trim and are very comfortable. - Recaro's with fixed bases are available, bit of a pain if you need to access the underseat boxes but a bit cheaper Last edited by bpman on 10th May 2015 8:37am. Edited 2 times in total |

180° opposite answer to bpman's..... Yes, they are
You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

Can you get to the batteries without taking the seat out?

With the original Recaros from Land Rover as in the SVX, and as you can buy from them as an accessory, yes. You just lift the seat bottom out, which I guess is the same as with the standard seats.

Nice looking seats .. Do they give good lumber support? (my back isn't so good!)

Did those that have bought them opt for real leather or 'Ambla Leather' which is the vinyl? Just wondered if the extra ballpark £1000 for 'real' is worth it? Contemplating getting a set myself. If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!
