184 FR - real leather interior?

[NiFreaky]

How much of the interior upholstery or trim is actually real leather. I know the seats aren't but what about the steering wheel/handbrake/gear knob? Just wondering if it is worth my while using leather cleaner/wipes?

I think everything your back, bum and head touches, with regards to the seats, is leather. The sides and rear panels of the driver/passenger seats, I'm not convinced. The wheel is defo leather and I'm really not convinced the gear/handbrake gaitors are leather.

I've been using Wonder Wheels Leather Clean and Feed for a couple of years now and it seems to do a good job of keeping the leather looking clean and supple.

My seats are the standard half "leather", half cloth but I don't think any of it is real and even the headrest isn't. The handbrake and gearstick gaitors aren't either. I suspect the handbrake grip and gear knob are real.

I have a bucket of Dr Leather wipes that I find are very good but it's pointless using them on plastic upholstery.

I believe it is "leatherette" , so no real 100% leather.
Gear and handbrake gaitors are very poor material...does have a plastic feel,
that is why i ordered alcatara gaitors for both to match my seats.

Where did you order alcantara gaitors from?

Local upholstery is doing them, hopefully will get them soon,
first ones were too saggy.

But http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/j-f-customs says they can do it too.
