Ebony premium leather (windsor) seats
Would anyone care to share some pics of their grey premium leather front seats please. Would like to see how real ones compare to the brochure ones. IMHO, they look absolutely different.
Thanks!

I think you'll find on Corris Grey cars that they only fitted vinyl seats........
Should have gone for Causeway!

Have you got any pics of the interior?? Would love to see what it looks like in reality....the way you have specced your car is exactly what I would have done had the options been available at the time of buying mine...
What do you think of it overall....I'm still blown away by mine and think its fantastic...
With yours being the later design it should be even better.... what's the stop start like? Overall impressions?
Still very very jealous!!!! Still haven't seen a 14 MY one in the flesh yet so you're the first! Be really interested to hear your views on it and I think the forum will be interested in your thoughts...
Regards FC

Hi FC, I'm afraid I haven't collected mine yet. Collection is planned for next week, when I'll be flying to the UK. The photos I posted here are the ones my excellent dealer at Marshall's Peterborough sent me, just to have a peak while I wait. I promise that I'll write a short review as soon as I get a few km's on it travelling down through Europe.
Could meet on my way to Dover if I've got the time - you seem like an early guy... but only if that does not raise any nasty jealousy psychological issues for you...

didn't know grey leather was an option?
or do you mean the ebony? if so to be fair the brochure is a pretty good likeness.
good colour choice, I'm being tempted by the Corris as currently have santorini and its clean for 5 minutes!

Thanks Dave,
You are right, I amended the thread title.
I was sent a pic of mine which looks grey and not cushioned enough, but maybe it's just a bad photo. The brochure seats just look fabulous, I hope mine are the same...

Thanks for your reassuring answer Dave!
I thought so too, but it's good to hear from someone else, as well. What a relief!
Well that's till Farmer Chack comes along to say that they fitted some LR left overs in mine...

Hmmmm grey vinyl!!!
Rest assured those are definately black and as Dave says it's just the light.. Trust me they will probably the most comfortable seats you ever sit in....
Now done 22,000 in mine and for periods averaging 2-4 hours a go.. I have never got out of the car other than feeling totally refreshed...
I am incredibly envious of you and the thought of driving from the dealer and down to Greece feels me with total jealousy ...lucky b ugger

Also don't forget your iPod or iPhone to connect to the car on the drive home....the stereo is just simply outstanding... You'll be rocking through Europe......
Would love to meet up en route past if you're heading down the M2 or M20... You could stop at Bluewater and fill the massive boot with lots of bargains and have breakfast there....
I've got loads of redundant vinyl cleaner that I'd give you for Xmas....
Still well jealous!
