Review of Sport Buckets

No doubt others beside me have been waiting to see and hear more about the new GT2 sport buckets. Well here you go! They're still not up on the USA configurator but they are on the UK one and available as an option on the TT for about $2k.

Actually thehey are cheaper if you were going to compare them with adaptive sport seats with the sport seats back's painted and heated seat option.

In addition they also weight less and look good at the same time.

Can the seats be had with heaters? Are there power options? What is the appearance with different interior colors and trim options?

I would definitely get them on a TT coupe...but I recently changed my allocation to a cab (nice weather in Dubai) and not so sure how these would look top down
