right i really should have posted this saturday night but i forgot all about it, i told alex and olopboy on the day but i dont think i told anyone else? had an interesting conversation with Ivan on saturday .... to cut a long story short, "racing bucket seats should be on sale for the AGP within 4 weeks!" - ok now iv not seen any pictures but he also informed me that they would be available in leather and cloth and will match the existing interior... the other VERY interesting thing he told me was "there will be an exhaust kit towards the end of they year" ..... *big smile went on my face!* a couple of things, the seats are going to be proper 1 peice seats and the other like a fool i forgot to ask if the exhaust kit will be a full system or just a back box.

If the seats are lovely then i will be GUTTED since i splashed out for the leather. I wont be swopping them now  Same goes for the exhaust.. just got a new one fitted. Although i bet it will be pretty steeply priced. Anyway.. nice info there John  looking forward to seeing them both. Although im worried i've wasted my money now  |

Although im worried i've wasted my money now well as iv said these bucket seats are suposably in both leather and cloth to match with the rest.... but i do know what you mean about splashing out on leather seats and then seeing these being released.... as for the price... there never going to be cheap.... proper racing seats are really expensive! and the exhaust.... this will be deffinatly down to it being a full system or not.... |

I think we speculated the seats might be those cool looking ones at the Geneva show this year, there are pictures on here somewhere, the eee-pc is a pain for search ops like that.
The exhaust will become the must have if its any good, but I reckon yours will still sound better Devil.

More here: Grande Punto Abarth "SuperSport"i was thinking about that price though alex.... maybe the cloth ones will be cheaper? ... you know the leather option been 800 quid extra .... guess we will just have to wait and see.... i hope they arnt that expensive though.... i really really like those seats!... this supersport exhaust has got me thinking, maybe this "kit" will include more than just an exhaust, maybe we will see a new rear bumper as well to accomidate this? (going down the thinking route it could end up something like the mito gta?) |

That would sound logical, but who knows. Still gotta be £1,600+ at least tho, I reckon. this supersport exhaust has got me thinking, maybe this "kit" will include more than just an exhaust, maybe we will see a new rear bumper as well to accomidate this?
I doubt that. The pipes on the SuperSport looked almost standard, remember.  |

That's why the standard exhaust is so disappointing. Exhausts are what Abarth are all about. Even the supersport exhaust doesn't look good  Ok.. it would sound great i bet. But the exhaust is the AGP's downfall every time. Unlike the A500. I love them seats Alex. I bet the seats + exhaust, if it's a full system, will bring you close to the cost of the SS kit. When you add fitting on top of it. We will have to see. Still great news that they are giving us more choice! |

Still great news that they are giving us more choice! agree completly  |

Look much nicer than the Recaros you get in the Renaultsport range and they are a £900 option on the Clio, so would not surprise me if these are a lot more.
