My new untrimmed Velo Racing GPT3 (XXL) 7 GPT2 (XL) arrived a few weeks ago.
Since I'm buying a matching pair I went with a GPT2 for passenger duties (I can squeeze into a XL if need be) and will be using VAC & Macht Schnell floor mounts, VAC seatbelt adaptor kit and lap belt mounting kit with sparco lateral steel fixed floor mounts (to get drivers side as low as possible passenger side will have a slider)

I went with steel fixed mounts (the aluminium one are much lighter but are generally 2mm thicker than the steel mounts due to the superior rigidity/mechanical properties of the steel mounts. This is important if wanting to get the mount as low as possible, for the drivers side I'll forego a slider to get it another 15-20mm lower also (gulp!)

Macht Schnell harness receptacles if I eventually go that far with a harness (came with the MS floor mounts)

Got all the mounting gear now, just waiting for the leather to show up from Austria for the trimmer which should arrive tomorrow (I went with wollsdorf ambassador leather which is a flame retardant aircraft grade nappa leather with a smooth finish with minimal grain like the M3 nappa- wollsdorf supply all the big manufacturers with leather)

I went with genuine alcantara (must admit the cheaper macro suede looked really nice but had a higher pile, so you could see the marks easily when you run your hands over it) and it should arrive next week for the trimmer to start work on creating the BMW performance inspired alcantara seats with grey stitching and BMW Performance stitching on the headrests for that OEM + look
I spent a few hours today to remove the sparco logo from the sidemounts, which was done just by compounding and polishing in an attempt to keep that minimalistic OEM+ look.
Hopefully in a few week the seats will be trimmed and ready for installation
