I really want to spec Sport Bucket Seats in my Touring which should arrive in February but I believe you cannot fit a child's seat in them. Does anyone have info on this? My son will be 6 months old by then.

You can get a child seat in, but Porsche say you can't, probably for legal reasons and airbag safety. I'm not sure you're allowed/should have rearward facing child seats in the front if you have airbags. PS You can get an airbag deactivation switch fitted to Porsches.

To my eyes it would look even better with platinum wheels

You can but my guess if that an OPC might not do it on a car with buckets.

I had the deactivation on my Boxster Spyder, with the Folding Buckets. That was seven years ago? However, as I'm writing this I'm thinking that I'm making it up and it was another car completely! And my Spyder is in my mother in laws garage so I can't even go and look. Hope that's helpful.

Thanks for the info. From reading some other forums the issue appears to be inbuilt airbags into the seat. I really don't want to go with the standard seats but I obviously don't want to jeopardise my child's safety with the sports buckets in the event of an accident

[2010spy]

Of course, mine were the Folding Buckets which I don't think have any airbags in them, or they didn't back in the day.

My folding buckets deffo have side airbags

[2010spy]

My memory serves me correct. This is what I posted in 2012...

"With all the usual caveats about not relying on this e-mail (i.e. I am not giving you any advice only telling you what I have done) I have a Spyder and bought a Recaro car seat which works for us. It fits in and is securely fastened. If you are struggling to find anything, I will dig out the model number. I had the airbag de-activation with in as well (about £500 from memory)."

I don't think it has side airbags, but will check.

I really like that. Never thought it would suit as a GT colour but looks great with the black wheels. Happy with my choice; Guards for comparison :

[robrsr]

Have to say Carmine and GR were both top of my list, before finally deciding on AGM (already have a Guards RS)
Mind you, so was yellow and black !! One of lifes harder decisions recently !!

Apologies if you have seen this, it’s the last model so a few years old but if you were wondering about diviated stitching 11 minutes in might convince you

Yes I agree, I’ve always found that the quality of stitch and tension management of the Juki DDL 8100 E overlock machine to be second to none - amazing machines

Wow, I hope my GR car looks as good as the one in the picture above.

Its in the dealership just awaiting Richard Tippler's magic fingers on Monday. I might have OD'ed on GR in the interior.

Painted red trims are atrocious, you might get away with the ones in the seats, but the rest

Shock horror..! You forgot to tick the Guards red instrument dials and Sport chrono clock..An oversight or an exercise in self-restraint me thinks..?

There you go...........ebay. £5 Sorted




Just kidding ! - I think it looks great......ballsy, but a proper eye-full, which GR should be!

I raise my glass to your enthusiasm for Guards Red!
