What's wrong with the Recros in your Vitesse? Also what body style?
Cheers,
Dave

Unless some bright spark has fitted aftermarket Recaros to a Coupe and sold it as genuine. :P

Or maybe the OP has bought a Coupe and wants the "proper Vitesse Recaros" and is under the impression someone has changed them for Sterling spec seats.

I've come across a few strange things on other forums recently Dean so i'm thinking outside the normal box if you see what i mean. :wink: :D

Very true! Given why the Coupe was created, there shouldn't really have been a Vitesse version of it at all but the opposite argument exists in as much as it's the sportiest looking of the range so it alone should have been a Vitesse.

Thing was though, even as a Vitesse, it retained the Sterling spec (except cruise, i don't think they ever fitted cruise to a 2.0 - might be wrong) and it was only the engine, box and suspension/steering that changed.

As for mods for cosmetics sake, what appeals to one person won't always appeal to another but given the fact Recaros were never an option for the Coupe, it could be fraught with problems trying to sort out what Recaros have been fitted in a Coupe - Capri springs to mind but there are plenty of other possibilities.

My line of thought with cosmetic mods is if they're not noticed at first but when they are, they don't look out of place, they're a success. Not sure a Coupe with Recaros would look right, simply because they were never fitted. That said :
