Is this extended leather?

I've struggled to find a definitive way to know, and a VIN lookup doesn't reveal anything. So could someone tell me if my car have extended leather or not?

Cheers

It does not look like extended leather from what I can see in your pictures. Here are some pictures of extended leather that should allow you to determine for sure.

Isn't the giveaway the visors ? If they're covered in hide its happy days :thumbsup: providing somebody hasn't changed them of course :roll:
 
Yes, that is extended leather.
Extended leather means:
Sun visors in leather, A pillars in leather, top windscreen panel in leather and door carts in full leather.

For an /m there's also a center console in leather and leather covered roll bars.

Interestingly enough you have the same perforated leather patch in the /m seats a I have. You only see that on some model years I think (I haven't found a consistency in that as it is pretty rare). Still I have different seatbelt guides on the seats (the thick ones instead of the thin ones). So the possibilities in variety are almost endless :rofl:
 
Ah thanks. It was the fact that I don't have a leather covered centre console that was confusing me. Clearly that's ///M only.

Happy days, another selling pint :-)
 
Budfox, are you the chap that bought this car from Chapelgate Porsche in Bournemouth?, if so you got the car I'd have bought if I'd spotted it first :evil:

Hi. It was Inchape but they might be called something different now. It's for sale at £8250 if anyone wants it...

For what its worth, at 26k miles and if in genuinely good condition with no issues, your massively under-pricing your Zed.

Well it's on 28k now and it cost me £9500 from a dealer. Service history is OK in relation to miles covered but it did go rather too long without an oil change. (8k miles in four years).

It's just had inspection 1 at a specialist and they reported no advisories. However, it has misfired a little recently (see my previous thread) so it seems like it needs a coil pack or something. I'll ask my local friendly garage to look at error codes before even considering passing it on to a new owner.

I don't think that £9500 from a main dealer in Nov 2013 to £8250 as a private sale is a huge drop. I might have bought it cheaply I guess but it has had three previous owners and whilst the spec is good (HIDs, reversing beeps, 108's, DSP, sports bits, heated electric seats and apparently extended leather) it's not top spec as there's no nav, cruise or wind deflector.

In truth I just don't use it enough and I'd like my garage back. If someone on here gets what might be a bargain then good luck to them. I'd rather do that than sell on eBay or Autotrader. I was going to wait until next spring, but having mentioned on a couple of threads that I'd probably like to sell it, I've convinced myself that I would.

That is indeed very nice. Seems like my car has the extended leather than 'normal' Zed could upgrade to, but not the ///M version.
 
You appear to have semi-extended leather! Whatever that is. Windscreen surround and visors but I can't see the rest.

I've got it on a 3.0si and it covers everything mentioned in a post above. Bit easier to see when it's champagne:

I think 'semi-extended' sums it up well then. The head restraints and console are certainly standard. To be honest, when I bought it I didn't even know that such a thing existed. Such is life...
 
What I have in some (postFL) brochures is that the rollbars in leather are extended leather in walknappa (code LT), and not in new englend extended leather (code LB).

That might differ when in individual line, or it even might differ from country to country
