I'll second Daytona (for the same reason as Steve)

Many are against the Recaros, but just as many love them - I'm in the latter camp, and they look better with contrast stiching than all black

What interior? Works well with carbon...

I hopefully get mine next week, I've got the Recaro's in black with the silver piping, I didn't intentionally order this, and wasn't sure about it - would have prefered all black. How do they look in the flesh? I'm going to veiw mine before final decision.

Cheers

Chris

Really nothing to worry about...

I was unsure before ordering as I didn't want big fat piping. Also, many of the dealer's resale photos use flash which bounces off the silver and makes the trim really obvious

I waited to see first in the flesh, and it is a very slim band of matt silver almost trapped in the seat side-seam. It's not even what I'd class as piping, and just lifts the cabin a tiny bit
