When I was looking for a car a couple had this from the factory and it really lifts the interior...if it could be done "cost effectively" I'd consider doing it on mine :)

It would be a LOT of alcantara! It would probably cost more than the factory price to retro fit.

For headlining , seats, wheel, front and rear console and dash you have to be looking at 4-5k minimum.

Where's the best place for the alloy pedals? I agree that would be great with the other interior mods I've got planned

No idea of cost for the GT from new but alcantara trim from the factory on the roof lining was an 11k extra on the 3200......

I have the original sales sheet for my car and the alcantara headlining was £940 & it does look very nice

3200 had alcantara headlining as standard. All 3 of my cars had it and every other one I have been in.

Looks really good. I test drove a Gran Cab yesterday at Maranello with extended and perforated leather. Both are v nice. The extended covers most of the door and map pocket.

Hotwheels, do the company you are dealing with do a similar service for leather?

Thanks

Maranello have a big sales event on this weekend, they are offering some serious deals on cars to hit their unit numbers for the half year. I had a chat with them yesterday and they are offering some cars at cost!

After the release of "Goldfinger", a friend of David Brown, Aston Martin's then owner, asked him for a DB5 at cost price. After much pestering he finally relented, and presented his friend with a brand new Aston and an invoice for £500 more than the usual sale price. :) I'd love that story to be true, but it probably isn't...

What's 'cost' then MAF?
