Default Advice on seats

I am looking to return a 2008 GT3 back to factory spec seats as it currently has the carbon buckets.
I plan to sell the car and on the build sheet is shows "heated seats" but does not mention whether they are alcantara. (Also doesn't mention alcantara delete for that matter)
I would like to know which seat option would be best since I cannot find heated alcantara sport seats for sale anywhere.

Option 1) Heated all leather sport seats

Option 2) Non-heated alcantara sport seats

What is your opinion or choice you would make in my position?

If you have a GT3, you would have alcantara seats. What you do need to find out is if you had adaptive sport seats, or the normal sport seats.

Adaptive sport seats will have a lot of buttons on the side, normal sport seats will just have a single handle on the side. That is the first choice you should make.

Then from there, I would probably choose option 1, provided that they are also the normal sport seats without the full power like what originally came in the car. I would want the heating function to work.

From your options list, it appears you would have the stock sport seats. These are the same as what limited slip is selling. You would just need to find if his were heated or not.

Thanks for the information.
And we already PM'd about his seats earlier today and unfortunately they are not heated...Hence the reason for this post to help me decide what to do.
