1) I would get the sports adaptive seats .
2) I would add the axle lock .
3) I would get the aluminum PDK **** .
4) I like the natural gray !!!!!
5) You may wish to add some stitching to the seats and seering wheel for contrast . You could opt for yellow to match the calipers . You cold even order yellow dials .
Or you could opt for white to match the dials and remain more understated .
6) Painted seat backs and console to exterior color meteor.

Thanks Tro for your your comments. My thoughts:
Well it is meant to improve visibility when cornering but I did not try it yet and I am not sure if the difference can be noticed. Has anyone tried it?
that is what I thought until I tired them. They really make a big difference in particular in urgent breaking. I know they are meant to last longer and not get overheated from extreme use, but they are more effective for sudden breaking than normal S breaks. I also think that on the long run, the investment will pay back because of the reduced number of break change.
12-way power seats with driver memory package do you swap drivers ???? Sport seats must
I found out when trying both that you could an improved seating position with the power seats because seats can be positioned with a greater degree of precision. I could not find a comfortable driving position with manually operated seats. I would have also gone for sport seats, but I like the ventilated seats options (obviously because of the hot weather in here) and this option does not come with the sport seats.
They are standard on the 2010 model
a friend had them and they keep making this loud disturbing noise everytime the tyre pressure changes. Not sure that I want it.
yrralis 1 thanks also for your comments:
Again here big hesitation between nicer sport seats and ventilated seats. Well we managed to drive all that time without ventilated seats, so I will probably go for sport seats. They look much nicer on the cabrio as well.
Does it eliminate the fun of a swinging tail from time to time?
Yes I agree, may be aluminum handbreak as well
Natural gray is nice, but I think dark gray is closest to black while not being black and will not get dirty as much as the natural gray
5) You may wish to add some stitching to the seats and seering wheel for contrast . You could opt for yellow to match the calipers . You cold even order yellow dials .
Yellow stitiching is nice with the calipers as you say, but I would like to keep it subtle and not too obvious. I am not sure how the white stitching would look on the gray seats; I have seen on the dark blue seats and it is fantastic
Will the difference really show because the interior is already gray. Plus I like the centre console in leather!
Thanks again for all your great comments

The seats - The "sports seats" are not identical to the "sport's adapives" . I picked the sports adaptives because it's closer to the comfort seat with items like power and memory in terms of ease . The comfort seats are very big , quite heavy and the perforated material isn't the same feel or sporty.
Axle lock will keep the car less tail happy .
The natural gray almost looks like black as you stated and it's awesome. From what i understand it's even a better quality leather used too.
The stitching is tough to decide . I teetered on the yellow too .
The leather console is beautiful . The seats have a volcano silver back so either way it will be a shade similar to the colors which you selected .
Get the ceramics --it will make a nice unique touch. Along with the alum pdk **** and brake.
It looks like you are set.

I have sat in nearly all of them and keep in mind that every person fits differently . I found the sports adaptives the best all around practical seat . The sports bucket seats are those best suited for a track driver with some street use . The sports seats are also great but remember --it has no memory if the car is a shared vehicle.
Thanks for that, I did not realise this. I believe the sport adaptive seats will all come with adjustable lumbar support. Correct? I am not sure, but I think I sat down once in one that had the sport adaptive seats but not the lumbar support.
