Sports seat Plus option on new Boxster

[steveatesh]

Hi all, new to Porsche but I have ordered a new Boxster 2.7 PDK for the mrs, delivery Xmas time. I am going through the options and I like the idea of the extra support offered in the Sports Seat Plus option over the standard seats. However, the description is a metallic grey back and the only picture I can find is the configurator (computer graphic).

OPC does not have any in to look at, can anybody comment on these seats (good or bad) and in particular, anybody have them and able to show a picture of them, particularly showing the grey back of the seat?

Also, does the Boxster come with mirrors that dip down in reverse so you can see your rear wheels or is it available in one of the mirror options? I'm quite keen to help her avoid reversing the rims along the kerb edge as you can imagine!

Cann't wait to get it after reading all the comments on here!

Many thanks.

There are some pics on here somewhere (Boxster pic/buyers thread?) which show them. The silver is closest to GT silver. I think they look nice. Strange they didn't have a single car with them - they've been a common option in the OPCs I've been in lately.

I think the left mirror dropping in reverse comes with the 14/18 way seats which include the memory package.

Enjoy!

Much more supportive and so adaptable if you and your Mrs are quite different sizes! The fully electric adjustment (adaptive) option with memory just takes it a step further in the right direction .....

The silver is a really nice coulour and works well, especially with darker colours!

Great help, thanks, I'll spec them.

I have sport seats plus on my 981S .. must better for me than sport seats.

seat back is mid silver, but unlike 987, seat base plastic is now black, which makes the seat look cheap
