They might be able to get the GT-P seats just with the F6 covers on them. Worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better bolsters and firmer. I'll take some piks tom if you like. Pm me if you want me to order you a set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you were to buy the seats through spare parts.I own a BA F6 and I tried to order a BF front bar and when I gave them my VIN number they said "sorry, only can give you the BA front."I don't know why they do that, its my car and I'll do what I bloody hell want to do to it.

So really your only option is to squeeze the dealer....if your prepared to pay, then I can't see why the dealer wouldnt be open to swapping the seats out of another car?

There is a possiblity that a dealer could order a set for you, but they will be dear as poison. It would probably be cheaper to buy a nice set of reclining Brides or Recaro's. The only problem you have there is that you can't legally ditch your side airbag equipped factory seats.Its always been a question asked, FPV haven't ever given us a positive answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have custom leather, far better than the standard gear as part of the new car negotiation. Still have side Air Bag functionality. If you want new bolsters etc you are screwed unless you go after market seats unfortunately.Want a better standard set up , go for a stock car ( fabric ) and demand custom leather as a compromise to meet your requirements.

The total cost of the components would come close to a GT-P's on road price I reckon........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the customer was prepared to pay costs.....there wasn't much we wouldn't do.....even swapping seats:spoton: Edited 05/09/08 12:23 PM by BionicXR6T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
