Matariki Posted 28, November 2021 Report Share Posted 28, November 2021 Hi, I'm new to the forum. I have had my Clio RS 200 Cup (mk3) for a little over a year now and am loving it.I have got to the stage where I want to tweak it a little bit and have picked up a few things from KTR (although the shipping costs are pretty awful as I'm in NZ). One of the things at the top of my list was a set of Reacros. I did not think I'd find any, as the Recaros don't come up very often in NZ.However, I stumbled across a set from a Megane RS 265, which I'm stoked about. The only problem is that the Recaro seat base/subframe is not plug and play into the Clio's floor bolt holes. Is there a way to change the base and make the seats work? I see that this has been mentioned in the past but I seem to find a direct answer. No doubt this has been discussed a lot, but my searching skills are obviously below par. Can any one provide an answer, link to a thread that would help, link to anyone who fabricates bases?Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn2blue Posted 28, November 2021 Report Share Posted 28, November 2021 (edited) If you want recaros in the C3 I would highly suggest sourcing a lowering frame at least for the drivers side. The stock seat height is like a barstool. The stock C3 recaro frames would be required to be removed to fit the lowered frame. That might fit recaros from the Megane.

Matt205 Posted 29, November 2021 Report Share Posted 29, November 2021 Can't comment on C3 bases but in the Megane the stock seat subframes unbolt and bolt into the Recaro's. I wouldn't be surprised if the same wasn't true for the C3 subframes. Take a seat out and see if the lower subframe is removable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matariki Posted 1, December 2021 Author Report Share Posted 1, December 2021 Cheers for the responses. I’ll see if I can swap the baes, but if I can’t, dn2blue where is the best place to go for a lowering base/frame? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn2blue Posted 1, December 2021 Report Share Posted 1, December 2021 This is the one: https://www.wheelermotorsport.co.uk/product/clio-3rs-recaro-cs-lowering-kit Not 100% sure this will fit a 265 recaro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onrus Posted 2, December 2021 Report Share Posted 2, December 2021 The Meg seat frames are lower than the clio seat frames. Go onto clio197 forum a few guys have fitted them there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
