Default Extended leather on door cards with alcantara tops S8 D2

Just wondering if any other owner has my doorcards seem impossible to find?

One of mine needs some minor work on the leather really, but was going to replace it, (mission impossible music plays)

According to IT, Extended leather pack, including alcantara uppers - That was a four grand optional extra

crikey!

There may be an alternative option. I have some nasty staining on my front door cards, part of the Leather pack three in my car. They have just been assessed for refurbishment and I should be able to take them off and send them away. I'll get some photos up so you can see what's possible.

As discussed here are the photos of my door cards. The plan is for the leather guru to take them away and sort them out, then I will refit them to my 8.
