    Anybody have any Aftermarket Seats in their 360?

    I'm looking to pick up a pair of RECARO Sportster CS. Wonder if anybody has done them before. I found some photos of them in a Silver 360, link below.

    But, main thing I want to ask is, what brackets are people using for RECARO Seats?

    Why does it have a substitute VIN? The “B” denotes a Euro version that I understand but I think you should inquire why a substitute VIN. Also inquire vid it’s been federalized.
    One last not the front bumper is very tough but which could be hiding repair work.
    Hope all works out for you and don’t forget a PPI.

    The OP is not interested in buying this car....he is interested in purchasing seats similar to what this car has.

    Those Recaros look like the ones in Audi RS4's. Can't help with brackets sorry.

    I have always thought the Cobra Misano seats would look great in a 360/430. Also look at Planted brand brackets
    for seat bases, they seem to have a lot of options.

    I have the Recaro Pole Positions in my 360. With Recaro alu mounts and the manual sliders. They just bolt in the existing floor anchor nuts like it was meant to be. Perfect driving position for me and I'm 190cm. Still one of the best all round seats out there.

    Interesting. Thanks for the responses guys, I contacted Planted Technology, and he gave me some good advice.

    Did you end up getting them? I found your thread looking for these specifics seat in a 360. I think it's a great alternative to the CS seats, only 2 kg more per seat, no visible carbon but not a big deal and great price

    I've got Recaro CS in my 360 spider. Great improvement over stock and really lifts the interior too.

    Mounts were made from flat steel bar with a bend on the front to meet the front mounting point. Retrimmed the seats with covers from AMX Performance in Poland and fitted heated seats at the same time, you can just about see the switch for the heated seats on the side of the frames (didn't want to be drilling holes in the car anywhere)

    I have been looking into getting a set of Recaro Sportsers as well for my F430 . The biggest challenge is finding Recaro Mounts to install the seats into the car properly. Does anyone have reccomendations for this?

    I can get a set of Bride Rails from Japan that mount into the F430 but I will need some customization to make them fit the Recaro Sportsters properly.

    I just called Braum and they are limited to what they will do. If you need a certain color combination they can't do it

    In my opinion, recaro pole position suit better the 360
    CS are too modern (I don't like 458/488 in Modena for the very same reason)
    The leather/alcantara pole position might be a perfect fit for the Modena
