Hey all. Been curious about this lately... If you could wrap/cover one thing in your 718 interior in leather (with or without stitching), what would it be? It could be something that you didn't option but wish you did, or something that was never an option but really should have been.... what would it be?

Always working on new interior projects, so would love to hear everyone's thoughts on this.

The Frunk followed by the glove box Interior. You probably weren’t expecting this response but I’m serious.

When I was around 17, my friend’s dad had a Mercedes 280 SE 3.5 that had a leather- lined glove box interior. It also closed with a solid clunk. Somehow, that bit of understated luxury has stuck in my head.

I would choose the plastic surround that is over the steering column, 100%.

Edguards has that available with or without stitching. Paging @Crazy Eddie
I’m not sure how easy the installation is.

Yea at some point I am def going to get this done with chalk stitching... Given that I have a Racetex steering wheel, I always wondered how the steering column would look in racetex :)

My 450SL has a cheap cardboard covered in rat-fur glove box. I've actually mulled upgrading it, as it seems very un-Mercedes like to me... Never though of leather. Hmm....

I ordered the leather interior on mine. Maybe a pair of leather driving gloves or jacket to match the interior

I did as well. I love the smooth finish leather Porsche uses.

The sports Chrono housing, steering column, sun visors (racetex), fuse covers, and a couple others I am currently mulling over :think:
