Hey Ricardo Max, I love these seats and hoping to own a set myself some day for my 1M.

I love the alcantara + leather combos in the 1M and I currently have the V2 electronic steering wheel that's covered in alcantara and I am very careful with it to not get it dirty or ruin the alcantara so I wear driving gloves to prevent that.

Do you think making the seat and back area in alcantara is better than having it leather in terms of longevity and keeping it clean? I'm worried that alcantara will get dirtier than leather a lot quicker. With leather, you will probably see it crack over time but alcantara might not, but it might fade or lose its short pile?

Just want your expert opinion on the most optimal setup for leather vs alcantara on the seat.
