GrahamSmith Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 I recently took delivery of a new S-Line 2.0T FSI (Fantastic - well pleased) and I specified "Exclusive Leather" in Silver / Black for which I was charged the not insignificant sum of £851.06 + VAT. (Dont forget, that is on top of the Standard leather for the S-Line). Now, I have been really pleased with the interior BUT a couple of times I have noticed other cars (Or pictures of them) showing that the silver leather is applied to the door trims as well as the seat centre sections. On mine, I only have the seat centres, the stiching on the steering wheel and gear shift. Oh, and a bit of Vinyl around the floor mats. My question / concern is should it be in the front and rear door trims as well? Thanks for any input before I make a fuss at the stealers (Rightly or wrongly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelson_R32 Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Sounds like you have the S-line Special Edition. The differences are the items you describe plus a softer (and nicer) leather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edo Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 No, sounds like you paid for exclusive leather which IMHO opinion is a rip off - you get colour coded mat/wheel/gear stitching and a colour codes section in the seats. I think it is supposed to be better leather. Not sure about the doors.. I'll try to dig out my brochure, but it is in that (but not on the Audi configurator).

[/ QUOTE ] Thanks for that - appreciated. on AS.Net they have posted some pics of interiors that show the colour range (As I have said, I have the black / Silver) and you can clearly see the door trims in the relevant colour. (See attachments) Mine are simply the "Standard" black leather. I am fairly sure that there is a cock up somewhere, but would like to hear of anyone with the same as I have (only the centre sections in colour) and what they paid for this "privilege". many thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edo Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 So you were charged £1k (inc vat). Confused to what that was (on top of Sport/S-Line). Pics of Exclusive show "exclusive" badge on door panels. 2 tone leather (silk nappa with contrastig stitching, available in black/red or black/silver is £300 inc vat.
