Fixed buckets

[arcamalpha]

I'd like a pair of fixed buckets for my GT3 so emailed my OPC to be told they're £5600 each!

Can this be right?! Design911 sell genuine folding seats for £2500 each which sounds more reasonable (if still expensive).

Can anyone confirm the price and anyone found a place to buy them?

Try Gert at Carnewal .

Pair on eBay for 5k.

These are the folding ones that I already have. I want the 'lightweight buckets' I think Porsche call them.

Looks like a little over 4000 euro a pair for the nomex ones from Carnewal.

How much would you want for your folding buckets?

Try Cobra Seats (www.cobraseats.co.uk) as they do a range of FIA approved seats including fixed back & should be very competitive. I have no affiliation to them but have a pair of their seats

lightweight buckets do not have side airbags so the door panel has extra padding ...

your profile says this

"Bought for £90,000 in October 2010 at 3,300 miles.

Atlas Grey, buckets, nav, the usual!"

I guess you did not want to post you have sports seats (as it's seen as gay) lol.

Not sure I understand you (perhaps it doesn't come across well in writing). Are you seriously digging through a profile to check this stuff?!

I don't have sports seats, I have the same seats as you-the carbon folding buckets. What I want is the fixed-back buckets that are only available for GT3s an the Carrera GT.

Ignore mrsemon - he has a bucket seat fetish.

And he's a tt.

[nsm3]

Couldn't wait to pile in, could he ?

[mrdemon]

lol :-) just a standing joke on buckets sorry

if you want the fixed carbon jobs ie. Carrera GT then they are scary money.

For that sort of money you can have some really nice Sparco or Recaro seats http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/seats

We don't get those seats this side of the pond regrettably. This is my RS.2:
