Very tidy, how does the alcantara feel to touch compared to leather?

Yes he did, top fella and a cracking job at a reasonable cost.

I was looking at that today too, no I don't think it does. Theres no aftermarket fob or any wiring I've found?

Mine has that LED. Weren't the alarms fitted on arrival in the UK?

LED On Door Lock Switch (Above Radio) = Alarm From Factory
LED @ Gear Stick = Alarm From Factory
LED On Speedo Clock = Immob From Factory

So so tempted to go Alcantara on the wheel...but the way it has worn in my 207 puts me off

damn it looks good though!

I cannot for the life of me remove the ruddy gearstick gaiter on mine! I reckon its been glued in!

Thanks for the heads up Marc!

As for the Alcantara, my cars not a daily so not too worried about the wear. Plus theres plenty of manufacturers using it these days so can't be too bad.
