Are all CSL front seats alcantara

[deanobeano]

Its a learning curve for me and your feedback has been excellent.

Looking at images if CSL's on the web there seems to be two types of front seat finish:
- plain black alcantara
- black with thin white stripes on the bum seat portion.

Are both of these variants correct?

They're nearly all plain alcantara Dean, and actually grey not black. Think the official colour might be called "Amaretto"

Not sure of the other ones you mean, unless they were the original concept car seats

The white striped seat base was just a pre production spec. All CSL's have plain seats.

[deanobeano]

Thanks Leins

So the pic you attached is of the experimental ones?
The car I looked at yesterday had pale white lines (running left to right across the seat) where the dotted lines are on your photo)

Either that, Or I am losing the plot!

[EVLXGE]

All CSL seats look like these.

Yep, they were the seats in the car first shown at the Franfurt motor show IIRC

Not sure what seats you've seen, but they sound after-market. Did they have holes in the back for harnesses? OEM ones don't, so maybe they got swapped by a previous owner for a bit of tracking

[englebert]

Or was too fat for the OEM seats :-D

Dean - the image displayed by Leins is that of the Concept car when first unveiled, the actual seats used in the production car are covered in Grey Anthracite Alcantara with Amaretta Reflex cloth center panels a very subtle pinstripe and they don't have the harness holes.
You can just make out the pinstripe on the rear seats. :119:

No biscuits allowed in a CSL, Leins :(

That's a nice looking set of rears!

That's what I get for posting from memory Neil, I've not sat in it since November! Wouldn't mind but I've an original sales pack there at home too that I should have checked!

Two weeks to go and she's out of the garage and back on the road though!

Quite partial to the odd Italian biscuit myself, with a nice cup of coffee :hahaha:
I knew what you meant, put it down to a typo shall we? :supz:

Exactly, I've got them on the brain now as planning to head down Italy-way in search of biscuits after Salzburg ;)

Any wine and chicks that I find en-route will be a bonus! :smokin:

Ha, ha not a bad idea the Baz route home, beautiful scenery, great vino, fantastic biscuits and some of the best looking Women in Europe, what more could you ask for?
A pint of portar - you might miss out on that one.
Never mind it will soon be Sunday:beer:

All CSL seats should have had the slots for a full harness :mad:

Agreed Craig, although the Kevlar seats in the prototype would have clashed awfully with the carbon fibre trims :gayfight: and would probably have added another £5K to the bill :(

But that was back in the day when the CSL had no rear seat and a 5 point harness didn't present a problem, however in an attempt to make it more appealing to the masses, that was changed.
Now it's all things to all men, a race bread track car or a family friendly coupe - well almost:smt074
