My Bespoke Tan Alpine Bucket Seats

Can't believe it's been a year since the two of us collected our Alpines.

As we both had one each I was able to experience both a 300bhp GT with comfort seats and a 250bhp Pure with the bucket seats.

We decided to make a video discussing the differences between the two and which features and options we think are best for the car. Then I went to collect my new seats.

If you want to skip all that, then you can see the custom seats at 6:41.

NOTE REPOSTED QUESTION TO A NEW THREAD - THANKS

Very useful points Alex, thanks.

I have a question regarding the bucket seats in general, as I’ve ordered my car with the comfort seats, and time is running out to change spec…

I ordered the comfort seats as the bucket seat backrest is too laid back for me - i.e. I’m too far from the steering wheel when the seat is in the right position for the pedals.

I’m now wondering if it’s possible to tilt the seat a little? This would be done by putting the front at the lower setting and the back in the middle or upper position. Can this be done without drilling out the holes? Logically it wouldn’t seem possible, but I may be missing something?

Any advice much appreciated.

Hey, you're right, logically it would seem possible.

But unfortunately I don't know the answer, but I really can't see why you wouldn't be able to do this.

The best thing to do would be to go to a local dealer and have a chat with one of their technicians, they are well in briefed in the seats.

Also, if you do go for the comfort seats they aren't bad seats per se, they just aren't as supportive as the buckets.

So Alex, could you please enlighten us with the costs associated to the seats and where is the best place to source them? That would be really helpful.

It looks like like the price is utterly ridiculous if you approach a regular dealer. £7k+?

I got mine off eBay. Just had to keep searching for them every day or set up notifications for specific keywords.
