Cool

I'm glad to hear you like the cloth - that's whatI've specced. coming from a BMW background it seems a sin not to have leather!!! I don't suppose anyone has any pictures of the black cloth?? Please

Sorry, didn't take any photos of the cloth. But if you search the Media/PhotoGallery there are quite a few photos there. Frankly, the pictures don't do the cloth justice. You really need to see and feel it for yourself, but I really doubt you'll be dissapointed.

I also come from a BMW (and RX-7) background, and the leather quality is not as nice as a BMW, but you get what you pay for. The best thing about the leather is the dramatic two tone look, for those that like that kind of style. The cloth on the hand is one of the best I've seen and felt. Again, the grey inserts have a suede like feel, very nicely suited for a performance car. The inserts are lighter in color than the bolsters, so you do get a slight two tone black/grey look as well. You don't get the hard plastic shell backing on the cloth, which some people like. But (if I recall correctly) you do get a rotary alloy look symbol in the headrest hole on both sides (you only get it on the front side for the leather).
