Default Micro fibre

Sorry if this has been covered before and I missed it, but does anyone know what this micro fibre stuff is all about?

Who's going for it and who's going alcantara?

My first hunch is alcantara.... I am now hearing MF wears even better.

Pics have been posted on the massive RS and the Geneva threads. It's basically a fuzzier, thicker alcantara. Should feel nice I was going to order the grey microfibre but I think it would stain verrry easily.

I wasn't going to get it, but on decided to add it to my build. The seat inserts are easy enough to recover it if doesn't wear well.

Until I know exactly how is it different looks, feel and wear wise, I'll stick with what I know, alcantara.

I'm going with the standard alcantara - whichever color I settle on . With my submitted Lava build I thought the standard interior was a little less over the top .

The leather interior with alcantara is not over the top. When you order micro fibre however on a lava car, you get the pimp lava seat inserts and other parts...too much bling for me....although I have not ruled out the lava pimp MF interior.

I believe that Microfiber is flame retardant where Alcantara is not.
I could be wrong about this....
