Thx for the link!
Even with shipping added this is still interesting for me... I doubt I could find someone to custom make this for a similar price.

I have asked them if they can do T5-R covers and they want some pics, so I will send them some this weekend. As far as I understand they are exatly the same as the normal 850 seats, but with the Alcantara parts added, right?

Short update. Lseat made some T5-R covers for me after I sent them one as a sample. They look very good imo, fitment was no problem (but a lot of work). I uploaded some pictures here
If you need some ask them, they should be able to make them now since they have the template.

Just a warning if you take the seats out: the bottom "nut" of the inside front bolt was loose on one side, I had to drill holes to get to it and remove the seat. On the other side it went lose when I reinstalled the seat... but I got it tight enough without drillig there... total pain.
