:teehee: yes Alex, well spotted. i actually bought the other grey handbrake console purely because the rear ash tray was included. now where did i put that black leather dye?

yes, maybe Atul, but i'm not so sure. the black ones do look very "factory" up close.

p.s. i heard you the first time :teehee:

Thought they only came in silver/grey on the Motorsports. Does the black come off? (Might be dyed)

Casual observation -but if you look at the hand brake consoles on the left side, the grey stitching goes around the corner and the black doesn't and the line of stich all over is a bit wonky and doesn't look factory compared to the stitching on the grey

Motor sports came with both.

The blacks a retrim is my thoughts. No ashtrays is the give away.
