What do you mean by tilt? My Recaros have the backrest tilt, whole seat forward and back and up and down, and the leg extension bit goes in and out. What else do the normal seats do? Does the whole seat tilt or something, like up at the front and down at the back?

Aston,
Ant's seats are serious improvements over the std recaros, huge side bolsters and you get mounted by them when you're in them
Proper race style seats, doubt they weigh any less than the norm as they are bigger, but I so want some, just not sure where to get them from
Really are better seats for going sideways in

The heated mirrors/locks/washer jets comes as one package, so if you've got one, you've got them all.
From the list above only the heated bits are options, everything else you list is standard SE spec.

What I want to know is who's got the least options
Mines already too heavy with electric windows/mirrors and manual sunroof
Remember guys 'For speed add lightness'

You dont have the foglights either do you? Instead you have the much better option of brake cooling ducts
