Those seats were part of the 'WR' sport package from Prodive. They could be brought separately for around the £1K mark or part of the WR upgrade with included, those seats, remap, suspension, brakes and PIAA driving lights etc...

As I said, you could buy parts individually or as a whole kit.

You're quite a bit luckier than you think: those seats were the more modest option, they looked quite refined compared with the other pattern, which was black, red and blue in a psychadelic pattern.

They're the most common Recaro for road cars. Off the top of my head, they're in most(if not all) EVO's, Accord Type R, Clio Trophy, CTR (Anniversary Editions), P1 WR Edition, I'm sure there's lots I've missed out.

I had them in my P1, didn't think they offered any more support than the standard seats and the electric part was the single most useless thing in existence after Jade Goodey!

Nice seats!!!! They are part of the WR Sport Package that came on a limited run of approx 200 standard UK Cars that Prodrive gave the FULL works and called that particular model WR Sport. If your centre odometer does not have the WR Sport logo (Under the Speedometer) its probable that your motor has some but not ALL the upgrade.

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING Seats though and VERY comfy too

Just sold my WR Sport Too
