Question BS/C63 2012 faclift coupe seat swap?

Greetings All,

I am told that the Black series seats are in fact Recaro Pole Positions,

Like... Recaro Pole Position FIA Motorsport bucket seat - GSM Sport Seats - Bucket seats, racing seats, motorsport seats, roll cages and harnesses

with the £500 leather option of course,

And for the mounts... Recaro Seats Mercedes Benz C-Class (W204) Direct Fit Sub-frames - GSM Sport Seats - Bucket seats, racing seats, motorsport seats, roll cages and harnesses

But the dealer seems to think that these will NOT fit the 2012 C63 facelift Coupe, Does anyone Know better?

Cheers RG.

These are the original seats, as in BS / Rs4 / 5 / 6 ect, made by Recaro, you can or course if you have a BS vin buy the originals from Merc (if they will sell you them ) but I am told they are VERY expensive with Merc added tax, hence me scorcing them direct.

I suggest you check the price of OEM ones from online sources like ECS Tuning, for reference.

Good idea for the colony's but if it was to be imported in to the uk ( where I am ) the postage and import duty would ad 50% to the cost,
Good idea for your side of the pond though!

Nope, Merc wont allow it : ( hence buying them from a Recaro agent! Two Seats in leather ( no red stitching though ) Seat mounts and runners about £2000 so not too bad!!
