New to forum + R8 V10 Stitching (seams)

[doctorr8]

Hello,
This is my first thread in this forum. Since the day I decided to buy an R8, I searched for a good forum to discuss my future car specs. I found this forum to be very informative and all members are like one big family;coming from M3 forums this is a big step forward.

I will be ordering my car very soon, now I am waiting for the final car quotation!? I am settled for these specs:
5.2 V10 engine
Suzuka Grey with CF blades
Cognac Brown extended full leather interior
CF engine cover
Illuminated door sills
Audi Music Interface

These are the main options, two things that I cannot choose, bucket vs. sports seats and stitching color. Do the seats differ a lot in comfiness?! What about weight and looks?
I just can't decide which stitching color I should take. I saw a couple of photos with black stitching, it looks very normal as if no stitching exists. I asked the dealer to check for Suzuka Grey stitching or pale grey!?

What do you guys think? Bucket or not? Stitching color? photos of cars with buckets and stitching will be highly appreciated.

Thanks All

I love the bucket seats, however i could not get these on the Spyder in the UK, where are you based?

Contrasting stitching is a nice way to personalise the car, saw a cognac brown interior with contrasting red stitching and red door panels and seat panels, it looked amazing, the other option you could consider is Alabaster white stitching, i have ordered Palace blue leather extended, with white stitching on blue and blue stitch on white, with the contrasting panels in doors and seats in white, body is in Sepang.

The other thing to consider is that the bucket seats are expensive in my opinion, also, its more difficult to get in and out of the car as your back rubs the bolsters, comfort over looks? i think the bucket seats look amazing!

Thanks guys for a quick response.
@ Stella: why is it a must, looks or comfiness?! Did you try to set on both and feel the difference?

@ Monkey: very interesting colors you chose for sure, "I" can't wait to see them! Red stitching over Cognac will be an overkill in my opinion, especially that I have a Suzuka Grey exterior! Please share any photos you have or seen for clarification.

Thanks again guys and please keep on the good advice.

Heres one thread with Cognac and bucket seats with either silver or white stitch, will look for red and Cognac and then post

Here we go Doctorr8

To me this interior is stunning & would look good with your Suzuka grey, i have sat in a Suzuka grey Spyder with the red interior and it looked amazing, over to you!

A little joke, no?

Obviously you are in Europe somewhere? Can you add your location to your profile?

I like the cognac w/white stitch, but I think the red accents are too much.

@ Monkey Boy: Thanks a lot man, the cognac with white looks stunning . I think I will go with white in case they can't do Suzuka Grey stitching. The big question now is to Bucket or not?! My main concern is comfiness?! Please guys if anyone has tried both please tell us about your experience?!

Thanks All
