Pretty basic to be honest, 3 door manual, carbon grey, buckets, dynaudio and tints.

Still says stage 4 on the tracker, but dealer said it was built last week.

Maybe its getting the issues with suppliers?

I remember getting jealous about the colour you ordered now....

Think the tracker is as useful as a chocolate tea pot.

Yeah, definitely the tyres.

I ordered buckets, after initially going for cloth.

I think its one of the main features of the car, but time will tell.

In fact, I think car will be here in a couple of weeks.

My preference was initially also the buckets, but main reasons I went for the leather is that I'm tall and afraid they buckets might be too short for good head support (for me). It's indeed a/the main feature of the Clubsport.

I'm looking forward to a forum member actually taking delivery of a CS or CSS.
Hope they post plenty of detailed pictures and hope the long wait is worth it

+1

I was sceptical in the beginning but reviews were great about them being supportive but not Megane RS Trophy-hard and they definitely are the trademark item of the Clubsport imo, not the same car without them.

Haven't read anything about rattles so far and I've spoken with a couple of owners who run them. We'll see what's the case, picking up next week.

Also, I think Belvedere is the real Clubsport wheel. Pretoria is nice mainly for the rubber that comes with it (although that can be easily retro-fitted) but it's out so long already on the R that really feels like the Golf R wheel. Brescias, well I can't say much about them without forum moderators intervening

both in terms of looks and weight. I wonder what they were thinking when they decided to even offer them as an option on this particular car...
