    GT3 Lightweight bucket seats in fabric only?

    in the GT3 catalog thy mentioned that "Lightweight bucket seats have a flame-retardant fabric finish".
    but what about the leather/alcantara suede-like seats in the picture below, it looks better , is it optional?

    Simple -

    if you order the clubsport you get the flame retarded fabric, otherwise you get the alcantara/leather one. BTW they come from different suppliers. I am still trying to convince them that they should sell me alcantara/leather in a CS

    If you are order the "Clubsport-Paket" in Germany you will get the fabric finish. If you order the seat separate you will get leather/alcantara finish.

    leather alcantara is the way to go.

    Fully agree! But like Tee I would have loved that in combination with the CS packet. As it stands I am paying a lot for those bucket seats, which enables me to get the CS package, but then I miss out on the sweet leather / alcantara. Doh!!

    also the doors look different in ClubSport, since the storage is removed, I don't it will save little wight, but it looks better to me anyway.
    I think my dealer can arrange a ClubSport with Alcantara lightwight seats. I'll wait for an answer.

    I don't understand... I thought these seats (are the "CGT" seat, arent they?) ONLY came with the CS package! So how come there are two versions of it?

    No. It's the other way around. You can only get the CS package if you order the CGT seats. If you get the CGT seats without the CS package you get the nicer leather / alcantara CGTs setas. If you get the CGT seats and the CS package you get Nomex CGTs seats. Net, there are two CGT seat versions.

    Have you the choice of having the nicer seats with leather and CS or do you HAVE to take the Nomex seats ?
