Default Is It Leather Or Is It ______?

What part of the dash, if any, is non leather?

The sticker on my 04 S says 'standard leather interior' and 'Black Embossed Leather N/C'.

If there are areas that are not leather I suspect they should not be cleaned with leather cleaner nor fed with leather food.

But I am not clever enough to tell which areas might not be real.

If your dash looks like this it is leather. If it is textured it is not.

I was under the impression that only the turbos came with leather dash and that you could not add a leather dash to the S.

You can get full leather on an S, which includes a leather dash. It's a $3,200 option but when you start looking at what gets covered in leather, it's really extensive and probably worth the money. My S has this option and my interior looks just like the photo above, except the wood. I went with the aluminum package.

You can add leather to the dash on an S. It's the Smooth Leather option, which does come standard on a turbo.

My S interior looks exactly like the pic above.

I guess that is what I get for listening to a salesman. Disinformation.

Bummer.

I guess I'll have to get some Lexol Vinylex quick wipes to use on the dash and will have to reserve my Lexol leather cleaner quick wipes (http://www.lexol.com/qwipes.html) to use on the seats only.

Mine is exactly the same as the picture. It really makes a difference even though I'll, probably, never recoup the cost when I sell.

Just to clarify, the top of my dash is definitely smooth and does not have any texture to it. I have the grey leather interior that has the 2 different shades of grey.

does this mean it is full leather and not standard?

You can go to the dealer and see other cars and compare the interior to yours.

Do you have the Smooth Leather option? If the dash is smooth, then you probably do. Although I'd think you'd remember a $3k option.

OK, so if you don't have the $3k smooth leather option, what is the material on the dash?
