Recommendations: Alcantara interior parts

Shawzy44 · 11-04-2019, 07:27 AM

Does anyone have any recommendations for custom Alcantara interior parts?

I am looking to add a centre console (cup holder, PDC switch), e-brake boot and Armrest in M Performance colour Alcantara but with blue stitching to match my interior.

I am looking at ECD Performance (from Germany) but would like other options and recommendations.

Fire away! Thanks!!!

I don't recommend Alcantara for parts that see high contact or are difficult to clean. Places like your center console are terrible IMO with how much dust/dirt they get on them. The arm rest is a bit easier to clean since you can flip it up and brush the filth off (and vacuum it).

If it makes him doublethink his purchase, it's worth it.

Maybe Coby Wheel can help - https://cobywheel.com/

My 2006 E46 ZHP (60k miles) has Alcantara seat bolsters and shifter & parking brake boots - the material is holding up well in these areas. Thankfully it came with the perforated leather steering wheel - Alcantara ones were commonly replaced under warranty due to early wear & tear. Frequent/constant care is required for the wheel, or wear gloves.

is the price here just for the alcantara cover, or is it the full steering wheel without the airbag?

they really should market it as a wrapping job instead of how theyre selling it right now
it seems like theyre selling alcantara steering wheels for $300

The Coby site states:
F30 M Sport Products
We wrap the F30 M Sport wheels in several different options (emphasis in mine) including Alcantara, Ultrasuede, two-toning, colors of stitching as well as time stripes at the 12 o'clock position in various colors. Please contact us for custom options and pricing. Not Included: trim pieces, harness, air bag, airbag clip (shown for illustration only) wheel would require re-use/transfer of your current wheels items.

Perhaps you can send them a note, asking them to state more clearly that an additional steering wheel is not included.
