Signature Carbon padded seats
Discussion
Hi all
I was wondering if anyone here had specced the Carbon padded seats with a different leather?
I am currently speccing a 360S in gulf colours and wanted tan seats. I have been quoted £1700 for the "Caterham signature" pack with tan seats with diamond stitching and contrast gaiter.
I am wondering if it's worth instead going for the heated carbon seats (£1400) and signature coloured leather pads (£300) for the same cost. I'm going for the 620 style dashboard too so thought it would be nice to have the carbon seats to match.
The alternative is speccing S seats and then changing to the oxted GT seats in tan in the future which will cost about £2300
I don't plan on doing any track days (yet) it's going to be a fair weather fun car for days when it's a little too cold to be out on my Ducati.
I have found some pics online with custom embroidery but none with a different coloured leather. I've also found the pads for the standard composite tillets but nothing for the carbon ones. So if anyone on here as them it would be great to get your thoughts and pics.

I have the carbon fibre padded & heated seats in my 360R, which we are just finishing building. They feel comfortable to sit in, but as the car is not yet finished I cannot comment on longer journey or trackday comfort and hold. The heating seems strong and good (and I did not spec heater). Both sides are fitted with sliding seat rails. The leather seems good quality and the coloured stitching adds a little contract. Quality / feel is good, apart from the uniquitous IVA type rubber trim around the sides which is a bit cheap. have a look on IG @caterhamdiaries for a few pics.
Thanks.
Unfortunately Robert at Caterham Silverstone has just told me that the carbon seats only come in black leather. I really wanted brown or tan seats.
I am planning on getting the standard leather seats for now and then swapping to the thunder sport/Oxted GT seats in saddle tan once I have a car.
