If you did not get full leather did they use vinyl or moulded plastic.
How do I tell if interior pieces are full leather.
Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hoping someone can help me out, I bought some interior pieces from someone who got them from a friend who was parting out his car. They are Savannah Beige and they are all wrapped in leather, the upper door trim, the centre console pocket, rear panels etc. I can't remember if my 996 had leather wrapped pieces or just plastic. Can someone verify for me or can someone tell me how to tell. I'm told they are from a 04 C4S because it also has Sport Seats (heated with Crests).
No VIN and do not have the whole door panel, just the upper trim. I have the whole rear panel. Don't think I saw any stitching. If you did not get full leather did they use vinyl or moulded plastic.
I can't really tell from the pictures - but the steering wheel is definitely leather...
According to the MY2003 options guide, these are the pieces that would have been covered in leather - and is listed as a "$0" option in the "SD" (Savannah Beige) color:

[DELETED] It was the 2002+ cars where the horseshoe was one piece (and contained a cupholder) - the 1999-2001 models were two pieces. You can see illustrations / examples here about halfway down:

.
Also, more of a dead giveaway, the 1999-2001 models did not have glove compartments - which this one does...
So yes, it could be a 2003 interior.
I'm on my first cup of coffee and just walked out into the garage to verify and you are correct....the 99-01 has 3 pieces for the horseshoe and the 02+ has one piece.
Spender - all those pieces that you mention are covered in leather, was that standard.
Dell - I was told it was a MY 2004 and assumed it was a C4S cause it came with hard back sport seats which I thought were standard. Sorry for the assumption.
Sport seats were just one of many choices (sport, standard, comfort, supple, etc, etc, etc).
If the C4S came with full leather then that is not from a C4S. No worries on trying to explain what model it is. The interior didn't matter amongst the coupe models from 02+ so sell them as that (i.e., 02+ 996).
