Hi there!

1) that's correct, spacers are not allowed here. Have to take them off when going to the yearly annual inspection (first time only after 4 years) But I rarely keep a car so long.
Have had spacers on all my cars until now, never had any issue with the law, warranty or any others...


2)I did not opt for the electric seats on purpose. :-)
Opposite to you, I personally don't understand why people would want electric seats.
I set my seat to my position 1 time and NEVER have to touch it again. So why on earth would I want to pay 1000€ to have it electric (1 time use)?
2nd reason is that my kids drive with me every day and have to sit in the back. The electric seats take FOREVER to slide forward. They go forward really slowly. With the manual seats its just so much faster and easier.
