    Hello guys, I'm in the process of starting a light restomod on a 355, more like taking a "standard" red manual 355 and making it as I would have ordered it back in the days.

    So my question is, where can I find 355 sport seats ?

    Is there a manufacturer who used to make those for Ferrari and did make a unbranded (ie not Ferrari) version ? A bit like Recaro was doing for Porsche back in the days...

    Many thanks for your help/inputs !!

    Originals are near impossible to source, but OMP makes seats that are very close, and in carbon.

    Edit: OMP makes seats that are very close to the original challenge seats, not the carbon sport seats.

    Hard to find.
    I looked some years and couldnt find black sport seats in nice condition located somewhere in Europe.

    There are two versions, one in Kevlar and the later one in Carbon. Both are from the same manufactor and look identicaly only the colour is different.

    IMO there is no aftermarket seat that has this nice (original) design … or a very similar design

    I too went on this quest, and the best option I could come up with is the Recaro Sportster. Definitely not a replica of the original carbon seat, but to my eye the design works well with the 355 interior. At some point when I have more time for car projects, I'm going to get a pair and install.
