Yes, I'll post some pictures of the Alcantara seats.
I went with the standard 18" rims. - The 19" rims look great, but I'm not going to take the car on the track (unless I upgrade the brakes), so the 18" will do better for me on the harsh Midwestern road surfaces (and for my poor parallel parking skills). This topic is probably worth a whole separate discussion...

Here are some pictures of the black leather/Alcantara interior with the Sports Seats. I love the interior! - But I agree with one of the previous comments that if you're looking for color, this interior combination is not the way to go...

P.S.: I have the standard 18" wheels. I think they look much better in person than on the configurator, and they go well with the clean lines of the TT.

thanks....they look as expected.....it appears the bolster under your thighs does not extend out, is that correct? It does extend on the upgraded nappa seats, not sure if I care, but I am pretty tall so it might be good for me.

Default Correct, only the upgraded seats have adjustable thigh support

Correct, the S sport seats are the only ones that have an adjustable leg bolster.

Hi Can_Q, noticed you posted this question/query back in June on the UK forums with no response - The Audi TT Forum :: View topic - Pneumatic Side Bolsters on S Sport Seats.

Did you ever get any follow-up info? As you mentioned, this is a $300 option on the TTS here in Canada so wondering do I really need this? Is it going to enhance my driving experience and what does this option actually bring to the table anyway?

The only thing that I can add is that the S line I drove was fine with the non adjustable side bolsters.
I think unless one is very slim they won't miss the adjustment.

I've had the adjustable thigh bolster in my BMWs since 2001. Definitely worth it. I'm 5-11 and have to believe taller folks would find it more comfortable for your legs and lower back. JMHO
