I'm not a big fan of mine - always worried about staining/wearing it out.

^I like the look of alcantara, but like you said. For an area such as an arm rest that will probably be touched a lot i think its a lot easier to clean leather than suede.

Alcantara is not suede. It's polyester and polyurethane and very durable. You can clean it with soap and water if it gets dirty. I used to have an Audi S4 biturbo with blue alcantara inserts in the seats. I cleaned the seats a few times at the local coin-op carwash using their carpet cleaning brush and foamy soap. It looked brand spankin' new each time!

Pictures of install once done please.

This is something I've been wanting to do. I'm not buying all new door panels so I will probably take Alcantara to a fabric shop with a the door panels to measure and install.

Are there any back of the door panel pictures around? I haven't looked around how to take doors or armrest off, but don't want to take the panels off just to look. They get marred up too easily.
