Alcantara apparently doesn't wear too well, but does look good.

Alpine* · 06-11-2012, 09:37 PM

I like the feel of the one in our car, flat bot is a nice touch too, wish the Alcantara matched the rest of the trim though, it is black where the rest of the standard trim is a dark grey. If money was not an issue I would get it re covered to match the trim and have it stitched in orange thread.

mmmmm why didn't I think of that, I could have gotten the electric wheel recovered, fail fail fail.

Any idea what the damage is to get it done?

Lots? no idea sorry, some of the UK guys have done it though, including the Performance seats

Nice. The more I read about it the Giac seems to be the tune of choice. Only probblem is no easy way to flash back to stock. If you are going for the Fi you should go with the Ri-ds. It is not much more expensive but save another 1.5kg each corner. It is 1/2" less wide though but you will be putting on same tyres so a bit academic.
