Default Re: Closed "Water Ingress", and new leather...

A further suggestion to think about -

When my 603 was refurbished by Bristol, all the interior leather was the same colo(u)r, with contrasting piping. I had overlooked my original intent to have darker, contrasting, but complementary leather on the sun visors and armrests, to match the dark leather on the facia. The factory weren't certain the leather would work here, as opposed to vinyl, but it did, very well.
That has now been remedied, with all four visors and the three armrests now covered in the same leather as the facia. The factory supplied the leather, covering the sun visors in the UK, but the armrests were done here at home.
Despite what seems to be different shades of interior leather on the seats, they are the same. That is simply a quirk of the lighting when the photos were taken.
I believe my request for additional sunvisors for the front side windows may have been a first for Bristol...they come in very handy on twisting roads as the sun comes in from the side and the front as one drives.
