Question Opinions on blue ltd edition front seats

I have a STI v6 WRC-LTD Type R, but the guy who imported it took out the blue front seats.

Now I'm not really bothered 'coz I don't feel they look right, just the two front ones, if they were more along the lines of the 22B interior with matching blue door cards and bits on the rear seats then that would have been quite nice IMHO.

So, I have a pair of STI v 4/5 seats in my Scoob and I'm not bothered about sourcing a pair of blue ones just to make it back to standard.

I'm wondering if anyone else has done the same?
Do you think I should try and get some blue seats?
Do you think the fact I don't have the blue seats de-values the car?

Answers on a postcard to...

My Type-R V5 STi has front seats like UK Turbo 2000.
I have the original brochures for the car with the options list and it was a no cost option to chose them seats or the ones with the yellow or grey inserts instead of the STi or Blue WRC ones.
I have seen a few without these seats, although most people ordered these cars with the STi or WRC blue ones.

It wont de-value your car mate, as now that the Type-R can no longer be inported into the UK, they are slowly going up in value.

By the way, mine arrived in the UK 3 weeks ago (with SVA approval!) and is the last one to be imported into the UK!

People always comment on how nice the seats are in my sti ra limited.
You could always cover the rear seats in the same blue colour if it bothers you that there a different colour.

Try to find a set and put them in!

There a part of the car that makes it a limited version.
