Rare Carbon Seats :) swap for Leather

m4drx · April 23, 2007, 10:34:55 PM

i think im almost decided!

i have a perfect set of stock seats and i have just bought a set of carbon ones which are in the car at the moment.

just thought i would ask if anyone would like to swap for leather fronts as i have heard many people say they are too slippy or the carbon ones look nicer.

i cant decide myself but just thought i would see if anyone is thinking on the same tracks,

cheers

Ive had all 3 and the leather are very slippy out the twisty bits, I would not have them again purely for that reason, although they were Blinking cold in winter and burn your ar8e in summer.
Stock or carbon are best IMHO. Velor will probably hold you slihtly better but have never had any problem with the carbon look seats

i find carbon very firm i think and velour softer plus i think carbon are slightly longer at the base but thats just a feeling

carbon do look very flush and clean though

Tharek send me pics aswell bro

m4drx · April 25, 2007, 06:46:39 PM

forgot to take pics again! either tonight if they can be seen in the dark or tomorrow.

i have got a perfect set of stock velour ones too but might keep hold of em because they are very clean.

pics, a little late but thought id show em off as i kept em and got rid of stock alcantara.

these are also slightly longer and much firmer and ceaner (less dusty) than stock so makes for a nice interior.

still considering leather esp red interior swap

When you say carbon do you mean bucket seats or just the colour of the ones above (erm I\'m a little colour blind so scuse me!)

m4drx · June 13, 2007, 11:23:59 AM

the ones above are known as carbon as they have a carbon effect with the material but not actual carbon bucket seats.

very nice looking though as they are a world apart from alcantara.

They\'re the R2 seats right?

I\'m sure mine has them and very comfy they are! I\'m not a fan of leather seats in sports cars at all as you do slip and slide all over the place!

m4drx · June 13, 2007, 11:56:00 AM

i think so they came in select models and i love em

jut like to change things alot so i cant really comment. i didnt like when i first took my alcantara ones out as they were mint but i loved these when fitted as they look unique and clean.

now i still have a desire for leather as i\'ve had it in previous cars i just want it.

my ideal would be cream leather like some fds have in the US or full red interior but now considering black.

but i must agree went out in one at a activity day with leather and slipping everywhere!

not sure
