In an almost unheard of event, I just spent a couple of hours cleaning and conditioning the leather in the 355. I never normally take much notice, but I have to say the leather is in remarkably good condition for a car about to have its 24th birthday. There's barely a mark anywhere (amazing considering the colour) and all the stitching etc. is perfect. (standing by for red carpet comments) I'm also really glad I wasn't a tight-arse and got the sticky buttons done properly...

Red carpets. Horrible usually, but not bad with that colour leather. You're still a tight arse. Signature www.pless.com.au/mechanics.htm
No they're not normal. They were the only part of the car that was less than perfect when I first bought it. So at the same time as I changed the steering wheel to a 360 wheel I had those installed. Bought them from somewhere in the States IIRC.
Just what I already had in the cupboard: Bowden's Leather Love and Leather Guard. Seems to do a decent job. The six speed shifter is attached to the steering column, like in a proper F1 car.
Only according to two of you. I'm happy with Bill in Melbourne and so is any sane person. Signature www.pless.com.au/mechanics.htm
100%, and anyone whom hasn’t seen the quality of that work and compared it with what is done locally should just STFU
Looks fantastic Steve…$50K for the carpets and you keep the car?…We can negotiate the postage separately….
That looks amazing Steve. I actually quite like the red carpet in beige and tan interiors, I only find it weird with black leather!!
Cheers, Kim. Yes it would definitely look weird with black leather. Despite all the crap that red carpet gets on here, every non-Ferrari person whom sees the interior always comments on how good it looks. It's "different" for sure, but not in a bad way, IMO.
