275 Trophy Recaro bolster wear vs full leather Recaros

I haven't heard of much wear on the recaros' and mine look pretty much brand new - but the car has only done 35k ish

 

Sorry may have misread the thread - I have a 250 Lux with cup chassis and recaros

 

If you have seen some bad ones probably down to how much care and what they are wearing getting in and out.

Seen a few pics of somd clio raiders and they seem to have wear on the upright bolster rather than the horizontal one on normal cloth clios.

Guess with leather you slide across easier.

Is it real leather? Does all the conditioning and cleaning stuff work?

 

Full leather drivers Recaro in my 35k mile Cup-s are showing signs of wear to the upper outer bolster and the lower inner bolster. My guess would be previous owners as well as myself wore jeans most of the time. The leather is not particularly damaged and would re-dye quite well.

 

My 250 is on 73k miles and my leather Recaro’s are in in excellent condition apart from a tiny bit of wear of the bolsters from getting in the car. I find it difficult getting in (2 major knee surgeries from football injuries) and taking it steady to slide into the seat ha

 

Gareth, in Spain says "sport is healthy", in your case, let me doubt it! No man, jokes out, I like sport too, sport climbing in my case.
Backing to the main theme, my leather Recaro´s had 70000km. and looks like news, but I care they like my wife. I put my ass carefully every time that get into the car, leaning on the A pilar. And it looks like the previous owner did something like that too.
About the cloth ones, I agree that seems a bit weaker, but taking care of they, can´t be any problem, or that want to believe!

 

Hey I have some leather recaros that have 130,000 miles on them. The bolster wear isn't really an issue, they got slightly discoloured (which I was able to fix) but the integrity is still okay - so not really a concern. The one annoying thing is that with jeans / trousers on with poppers/buttons if you adjust yourself in the seat they can rip the leather. Though to be fair I have only had one pair of trousers that did this! I found that a leather repair kit actually worked fairly well to repair the seats too.
