The bucket style manual adjustment ones. Visually they look identical to those fitted as an option to the 430, but would be fitted to a 550M.

Does anyone know where I might be able to find some? Preferably the fat person variant in Black. I'd rather find some that don't look brand new and don't cost as much as the no doubt horrendous factory price, but am willing to be corrected if anyone knows how much new ones are.

I know there are various Ferrari breakers, but I haven't been able to spot any on Google, so any help there would be appreciated too!

Thank you!

Bebs on here bought his from Joe Macari.
They are still expensive 2nd hand as lots of demand.

Must say the fat b*stard size in my CS are very comfy.

yes They were just sitting there in the showroom doing nothing so I made an offer for them. They were spotless. In the end paid 2K and he took my old ones.
Think its an 8K option new..

Hey Neil, it wasn't you I was driving next to a while back from Battersea to Vauxhall was it? We had a brief chat at the lights..

Thanks guys!

Yes, my Dad is a man of 'ample proportions' but he does cope with it as he is of limited height! I really struggle though as i'm 6'5' and end up having to wedge myself in just to fit. Sat in his friends 430 with stock seats and had the same problem, whereas I'm very comfy in the old man's one with the fat sports seats.

Shame as I actually prefer the look of the standard seats... its just they're about as comfortable as a Les Dawson speech at a feminist rights meeting
