Woah, first time I've seen that color! How much did it cost for the custom leather?

It is done by a compagny near by that makes leather upholstery for volvo (there is a volvo factory in Gent).The price is about the same, but you can choose every color you want.

I still think it looks like terra, perhaps it could be a lighter more chocolate brown?

I noticed you don't have the stiching on the door pannel
any reason why??

No stitching on the door panel= leatherette.

Yup, good call quackman. That's right on the nose. I forgot about that bit.

The way I understand the OP is that they had custom leather installed, so it's possible that it only had cloth or leatherette to begin with.

I really doubt leatherette since that option doesn't seem to be well liked here in Europe.

Well, either way, the extra stitching on the door panels is not cheap and not entirely necessary which is probably why principia's car doesn't have it

Its a pretty good aftermarket job though. Enjoy the car principia and drive safe.

Looks absolutely great, even better than Terra. More like Individual Caramel which is awesome too.

I'm sure you could do something similar in the US.

That looks like a factory job. Does it look as good up close?

Can you post or PM the company information? After seeing the quality here, I might look into getting my other car's cloth seats covered.
