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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Im trying to figure out what is leather and what isn't leather in my gen 2 996 ive ordered some metropole blue dye and leather cleaner from Dynamix (thanks Minny) and wondering what i can use it on other than the seats. are all the stitched areas on the instrument binnacle and door cards leather? what about the door handles, glove box, dash etc? they look plastic. the car has the draped leather options 601 and 939 but thats all.

POST 2Original post

I was under the impression that anything stitched is leather and anything that's not is leatherette.

POST 3Original post

Option 601 is Litronic/Bi-Xenon Headlights. Do you have option 981, or any "X" options like XTC (Leather door cards)

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Original invoice says... Metropole blue full leather Ruffled leather only XME option and 939

Unless your car is badly faded or very worn you should only need to do the seats! The dashboard top and button, glove box - it's basically the dial surrounds and down the centre of the console around the a/c, pcm etc. The side panels to rear seats are leather. The doors are basically leather the problems is the door rest as you need to strip of the polo's before dyeing
