I actually really, really like Elite cloth, its better than normal spec, its more supportive somehow.

TB's tractor had it and JoshW's Elite, given the option i'd have that over leather personally.

My saloon used to have charcoal velour, which I didn't really like, it now has the correct late matt effect leather fitted, took me a long time to find the correct style leather as it was only fitted to post '52' vehicles.
Leather can be cold as we all know, but I prefer it...I think it looks better. But, I find velour or cloth collects fluff/lint or whatever you want to call it which then sticks to your clothes. I have an overcoat which stays fine in my Elite, but as soon as it goes in the Focus we have with cloth it picks up so much stuff from the seats.

first of all that estate looks mint!!!

secondly, cloth as an optional extra instead of the leather? never heard of that and why anyone would do that? lol

thirdly that cloth looks exactly the same as the cloth in my CD. my car is also the first time ive ever seen heated seats with cloth, i alwaysthought it had to be leather... but its really awsome.

migs forever!!!

I've got an Elite estate with cloth, I would have preferred leather but I've grown to love it  :)

As said, for 3.0/3.2, cloth was a no cost option.  Not everyone is gay enough to want leather, as it suffers far more comfort problems than cloth.

On the 3.2 Elite, velour instead of leather was a no cost option (NCO)
I've only seen four 3.2 Elite's with velour instead of leather, so there are a limited amount out there.

I agree with prefacelift leather, it looks too shiny and more like vinyl.
Even facelift leather from 1999 'V' to 2002 '02' looks a bit crap, but I really do like the post '52' leather.

So in a Champagne model with late spec Leather does one Gay cancel out the other? Or does it become double Gay ;D

And LEDs. Don't forget blue or white LEDs, if you are trying to attract non-female relationships....
