Car has Nomex buckets at the moment, so Clubsport spec with extended leather option, doorcards etc

Anyone know if you could spec the buckets in leather from the factory?

Not sure you could order the RS with leather buckets, but leather buckets were definitely available on the standard GT3 as an option - Kidhaa here has them: leather on the structure/sides and alcantra on the seating bits

isn't it the case that you can have leather bucket seats only if no rear roll cage?

I remember seeing a GT3 is this spec and was considering getting the RS done like this

Absolutely, just bought an RS for track use and one of the car I was considering had leather seats from factory (and fat leather steering wheel).

And that was actually one of the reasons I decided to go for another car despite that one was Viper green (but was "high" mileage too...)

Not officially on any vintage of GT3 RS as far as the normal options list is concerned, but you could almost certainly have got them for a premium via the Exclusive programme if the car went through Werk 1 and there is of course no reason that they couldn't have been retrofitted if an owner was so inclined.

I didn't think that the UK RS had a delete option, but that is what you got if you didn't option ClubSport spec on a non-RS..? I thought that the only recent RS with a delete option for the cage was the GT2RS ?
