Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

They are what I have in my car, and they feel narrower than the standard seats to me. I'm not particularly lardy-ar$ed, but they are a bit tight on the thighs for me. I'm thinking about changing them myself - but to a wider seat!
Again, it feels slightly narrower, due to the wings at the top, which you feel on your shoulders. The wings aren't very effective, btw. There isn't much lumbar support on the seat back either. I put a foam pad behind the base of the rear cushion, which helped.

I find the poor lumbar support a problem also. I drive around with a small folded towel behind my lower back - are you saying there is a way to modify standard seats to put more paddng in there? I never thought to ask that question. D'oh!
PS sorry OP for thread creep!
Eh?
I find the lumbar support on the sport seats the best I've ever encountered on any car. Certainly when I hop into my Focus daily driver after a spell in the 911 it feels like there's a hole in the seat where the lumbar support should be...
Shoulder room, now that's a different matter. Works for me but I'm pretty svelte, standard seats did feel more comfy (ie roomy) when I tried them.
My choice would be Cobra Misano seats- they look really cool.

They do them in leather/alcantara, they recline and tip forward, are very light, and sort of remind me of the 997 GT2 seats.
I have a dream one day I might fit a pair in my C4S
Some in situ in a 993TT

That looks like whatI have got in the Cayenne
On a serious note I am what you would desribe as "slim" and I find the standard 996 seats narrow so god knows what "fuller gentleman" would think.

OMP BIG SEAT
Fibreglass seat ideally suited for well-built drivers, manufactured according to the suggestions of the champion drivers making use of WRC seat and suitably enlarged. Velvet type cover provided with special rubber dots reinforcement inserts in the seat and shoulder areas; bodywork at sight. Removable seat and leg cushions, 5 seat belt holes, 4 side fixing points (type W). * Colours: o black-black inserts (HA/703/N) o red-red inserts (HA/703/R) * Weight: 10kg FIA homologated
I used to use a folded towel too. I got a piece of dense foam rubber, about 3/4" thick, around 9"x6", and tucked it behind the centre seat back cushion, low down. A big improvement.
I've had quite a few BMW's and E39 (older 5 series) sports seats are just about the most comfortable seats I've ever sat in - I do miss them on long journeys
