Is this the standard performance edition Alcantara seat option???

Yes that is one of the options.

Thank you mate. That’s the only one I’ve seen on several performance cars. I assume other colours and options are available at cost

Other colours and leather etc were same cost. There was no exclusive option in the UK.

That was the default option on the configurator though along with the blue carbon trim.

Just looked on the website, it is still available to configure and see the options. You have the option of leather / alcantara with blue honeycomb stitching as above or various colours / stitching all leather with honeycomb stitching or black leather / alcantara with diamond stitching (choice of black or silver headlining). All the same cost (£0).

Cheers mate. The reason I ask is I sent my car to a specialist re trimmer and asked for my seats to be done as per the performance edition Alcantara however even after confirming they knew exactly what I required and knew the look of the seat they have only done the quilted diamond pattern parts and left the remainder leather.
I’m hoping it will all be sorted tomorrow but started to doubt myself on what I believed to be the look of a performance edition Alcantara seat

Not sure I follow, if they have done the quilted diamond in alcantara then the rest should be leather. They only difference is that the ones above are honeycomb not diamonds.

Sorry didn’t explain myself. They have done the honeycomb but still left the front bit leather and the bit between back and seat on the rears leather. Basically only changed the honeycomb areas which is not as per the performance edition

Isn't the leather part exactly the same as your original seats other than the colour of the stitching?

Hopefully now resolved. I asked that the centre including front bolster be Alcantara both for front and rear seats. All they did was the honeycomb bits leaving the front centres still leather now resolved hopefully collecting the car next week

The front and rear bolsters on the Performance are normally leather. If you said you wanted it the same as the photos above then he would have done the bolsters leather.
But glad you got it sorted. Did you go for the same blue stitching.
Don't forget to post some pics!!

I think you mean the front and rear thigh support which are plain Alcantara? And not bolsters because they’ve supposed to be leather.

Oh, that makes sense now.
