Sold Pista seats for sale

Definitely not since the Pista came out about 10 years after the last F430s

 

understood and i agree, i wasnt necessarily talking about the way its upholstered, but more the general style and design of the seat, take for example this white F430 Spider thats for sale in germany now, it has the same style seats in there also with the lever to flip them forward, and i see quite a few cars in EU with these seats for sale... thats why i was kinda confused...

sorry to hijack the thread, but since its sold i dont think it will be a big issue?

 

Those look like seats from a Scuderia or 16M which were based off of the F430. Similar idea as the Pista yes. And this person obviously added them after the fact because they also added the lower black trim that was common on the 16M. Never heard of the factory making people get those seats.

 

This was the 1st one i knew to find, i know of multiple F430's in eu that are currently for sale with these seats, i thought it was weird to, cause i cant imagine alot of people adding these afterwards to the car?

 

Yeah that car has them indeed aswell, i found it strange aswell in the first period from my search, from what ive seen quite a few cars with these seats for sale, and each and every car is a late production car, from late 08 and 09 in general.

and another one and no this is not the same as i linked earlier

I just find this a funny and quirky thing among the F430's and why some do have them instead of the well known F430 bucket seats, and i recall reading somewhere that in the end of production the regular choices of seats were getting slimmer due to stock running out thus also offering these seats, but i cant find it back anymore sadly.

 

That is one very well-equipped 430. I think in the States you couldn't get the carbon seats after 2006. Not sure if it has to do with the airbag stuff.

 

Yeah USA and airbags have always been a thing, I mean look at Spyker, they had to redesign their magnificent steeringwheel from the propellor wheel to the ugly one with an airbag, just to be able to sell their cars in the USA... Yet all american owners are currently buyin the new produced batches of propellor steeringwheels from what i hear to swap their steeringwheels out.

BTW, i own a 2009 F430 spider, not with the scuderia bucket seats, but the regular Carbon bucket seats....
