I have just read the description next to the bucket seats on the price list. It states seats are in lieu of Pre-Crash prevention, is this the radar system on the front of the car. Please read below:
‘Clubsport’ cloth seat centre section and Alcantara side bolsters including
heated front sports bucket seats with embroidered ‘GTI’ logo. In lieu of
PreCrash preventive occupant protection and front centre armrest
So to have the bucket seats you lose the centre arm rest console and the PreCrash preventive protection (Radar?) It seems they have bodged the seats to fit as an after thought rather design the layout so they fit properly. However I have seen photos of the same seats in a R400 concept with the centre console remaining intact between the seats. Also does anyone know if you lose the red strip lights in the doors as well if the bucket seats are specified?
On perusing the price list. This would be an expensive car if I were to configure it with the same spec as my current GTi + extras I expected to be standard for the clubsport.
