Pure Alcantara plus real or fake cow?

Featured Replies

Hi,

Does anyone know what the side bolsters are made from on the new Octavia vRS black 'full' Alcantara option?

I know that on the Superb, it's an Alcantara middle, with synthetic leather sides (my preference). I think this is the same with the regular vRS cloth and leather seats.

I prefer non cow, if that isn't obvious. All this would have been simpler had VW not stopped the tartan cloth seats in the current GTI, and replaced them with leather. Unless anyone knows a way around that. Slightly annoyed by VW's arrogance in the matter, and hence considering the sideways brand defection!

Thanks,

PK

Leather bolsters from what I can make out.

Pretty sure the bolsters are leather, but everything else is fake, door cards, rear of the seats etc, and thats on my black alcantara VRS interior.

pre-fl was full leather front seats with alcantara bits and everything else in the car was fake.

How's the ebook working out? Did Amazon ever find out about you writing your own reviews?
