    Rover Recaros?

    Have i been drinking to much over Xmas?
    Was thinking of a pair or Rover Recaros with door panel inserts matched and rear seats in black leather?
    Do prefer the full recaro rather than the R Seats.

    Think if they where wrapped in leather they'd look nice.. Nice Capri interior by the way.

    I had a couple of Rovers 800's with these seats when they first came out in 1993, very nice.

    a decent auto-electrician will easily be able to sort that, or even with a bit of research of the R*ver wiring might be able to sort it yourself if you competent

    I take it you mean the wiring to the volvo seats and what to do with it? Rover recaro's, at least the full leather ones I had in my Coupe Turbo, had no electrics at all on them.

    If thats the case, some research and maplins for resistors to mimic the resistance the electrics on an operational Volvo seat would provide will put any lights out/keep airbag systems operational etc.

    All fast cars long gone. Sensible family BMW 3 series now.
    Still Volvo links though as my wife has a V50 R design sport and a mildly fettled T4
