AMX came back to me and quoted £4,520 for a pair of seats. Brackets and sliders, heating, airbags and custom upholstery. Delivery cost to the UK was priced between £200-£450 depending on courier and service used. 100% bespoke - you can configure any element to your taste and preference.
I had a quick look on CP Performance and they quote £2,520 (airbag and heating filaments drive the price up by nearly £1k).
You'd be liable for 20% VAT I expect when they arrive and I'm sure a courier would add an administration fee as they love to do. All in, I suspect it would come in at around £6k for the pair.
Which isn't too bad (stay with me) considered:
- VW will charge you about £23k for two replacement seats for a Clubsport S and that doesn't include labour as they arrive as parts. That's estimated at £2k. This post prompted me to check current prices and I could smell the reluctance and apathy coming off the parts guy in waves as he had to order every single component individually to price.
- Porsche offer a 3D printed seat insert for 918 Spyder CFRP seats (I have them in my GT4). I really liked the look of the seat inserts and like an idiot, made the call. I immediately regretted it. They wanted £2,245. That's for the seat cushion and backrest. Per seat. The conversation started to feel like some sort of comedy sketch and I was waiting to be told that stitching wasn't included and if I wanted to fit them, attachment points would be additional cost.
They do look great but it's a staggering amount as a relative comparison.
