Erm! they are like hens teeth - no way will you get a set - just go for the leather/leatherette covers and save yourself the trouble of trying to find the Version R covers - it would also be cheaper to just change the seats - this is what i did - the seat frames on the standard FTO weight quite a bit as do the seats -

IIRC someone priced these with Mitsi before and it was something like 3 grand?

Good luck with your search, as mffto said they're VERY rare and even when they do pop up they're very sought after so would be very expensive.

Here's an idea though - find someone who will make 'replicas' for you and I reckon you could have a good few customers in the UK. I'd be tempted myself if I had the time & knew someone who could do them.

I priced the Vr seats from Mitsi some time back and it was 3K just for the fronts. And going by some of the pricing i got from them recently i bet you can add another 50% onto that.

I can get you the part numbers If you want, what colour you after.

Actually saying that i'm not that happy with my seats from a support perspective... I'd much prefer the support in the Recaro's in an Intg Type R

Take them out and sell them and buy yourself a nice pair of Sparco Milanos with the proceeds.

if your vr seats are red, i'll take them off you for a set of recaro's. that'll sort out your comfort problem. straight swap. :lol:
