    Should I take extended Fine Nappa leather with stitchings?

    Been asked here many times, can't quite make my mind if I should take extended leather or not to my V10 (can't be worse than standard Fine Nappa right?). If I take extended Fine Nappa leather package and don't take coloured stitchings (costs around 200e more) is there anykind stitchings in black leather? Can I choose black stitching to black leather?

    If anyone have pictures of black extended leather package with black/grey/white stitchings would be happy see those

    AFAIK the extended leather is Fine Nappa but on more parts of the interior (dash, monoposto etc.). I was slighly disappointed with the coloured stiching - I got a free upgrade of the interior carbon and so you lose the stitching on the momoposto [really tough to stitch CF ] and that is probably the most noticeable part.

    found these:







    I would not do both CF interior and deviated stitching together. One or the other, I think. And I personally prefer the stitching.
    And here is some deviating stitching in a Porsche





    good luck!

    Yes, CF inside is MUST and black leather. Bodhii might be right, CF or stitching, both might be little wild

    If you guys have more pictures of black leather interior with white stiching (with CF) would be more than happy see those! Surely many here have gone that path

    Yes.
    I have both, and I personally think it looks great.
    You can make it subtle by choosing the right combination of colours.

    I went for Black extended with CF and light grey, but each to their own ;-)

    Your carefull planning is gonna pay off. If you ever plan on selling...you have a better chance of getting top dollar when she looks really wicked. The white stitching will eventually turn light grey.

    I wish Audi would follow Porsche's lead as far as deviating stitching goes. Porsche does a much better job and offers much more pieces of interior trim that can be ordered with deviating sticthing.

    How much is the white deviated stitching on the doors? I plan to have black leather interior with carbon fiber. If that single pic is any representation, that combination looks phenomenal -- Gallardo-ish.
