Default Interior leather wrap

Hey guys.I had the same sticky dash and door panels promblem like most of you did but in Greece there isnt any recal so the option was to get a new dash or wrap it in leather as most of new cars are.The truth is i was afraid because even though i went to the best in Athens he told me that they had to do make stiching in order to avoid promblems over the years and also stiching for the airbag too.This is the result guys.

I hope you guys like it.I love the new interior and believe me the picture dont do it justice.The steering wheel is something i have to get use to but i like the dash and door panels and car mats a lot.
I d love to see what you think

No buddy actually it's not.Its synthetic leather.The guy from the shop told me that even very expensive company's are not using leather anymore because it doesn't last as much as this.And believe me it looks and feel like leather.They used a soft sponge underneath and it feels like a very luxury interior as it was suppose to be from the factory.

That's gorgeous!. Though I would have just done the dash and door panels because I would be too OCD to step on a leather mat. You're also right about synthetic leather being superior (in terms of longevity and ease of maintenance)

If you're on the fence about the steering wheel, there's plenty of carbon fiber wheels you can switch to

Looks great this is what I want to do. Makes the interior look way nicer. How much did you pay for everything?

Sorry for the late reply guys.I paid 1500euro for everything including car mats yes.The cost of door panels and dashboard new in our dealer was 4800 euro so I m glad I did what I did because believe me the result is really good!I hope it lasts longer than if I bought the OEM dash and door panels.We ll see
