All in one is NLA from the dealers.
When you give them the part number, it comes back with the later all in one type.
Loads of people have done this and ended up with the later type.

I just purchased a one piece for £60 in exactly the same condition as one pictured. There is an illuminating 2piece one on flee bay for £60 and you can buy the re-leather kit from Germany for £15.
The 2nd one vary in price and have seen them as cheap as £50 going upwards to £130 both conditions the like new, so comes down to how long you want to hold on to them for as I have seen them come up on flee bay for £85

Genuine Alcantara, no time to sell "Fake" Alcantara, you get bad feedback for bull.
No, Can't get hold of him, I've pm'd him on here for you.

They look well made, but I hate alcantara.
How much for leather? PM me if you prefer.
