Firstly... Sorry for a separate post on the same issue...see previous ' Wrong spec' post but that post is 3 pages long and sort of went a bit sideways!!!
If u didnt see post ... in brief my new RRS turned up without contrast stitching as ordered...
As was suggested by members the dealer is getting new leather covers down from RR.....
Will accept that.... BUT ... it has to be right....
When I spoke to him he said he was just checking with RR if the rear headrests are stitched.......
That does not inspire me with confidence and its difficult for me to check a car as I live in the Pyranees !!!
Now I know from the US 2012 brochure the rear headrests are contrast stitched !!

So please any one out there with a 2011 onwards with contrast stitch (great if nero with ivory stitch) I also have extended leather..... I would be enormously grateful if you can tell me what parts are actually stitched on yr car.... really would like to know if it extends to doors, armrests etc...

sorry for rambling

Not on mine, But I don't have the extended leather. Mine is an MY10, but I don't think there was any difference between that and the seats in th MY11. I've just been out to the car, so here are some pics. Hope they help.

Yeah we loved the Boxter S but when my wee boy arrived it had to go

There is a simple formula for how to deal with a Boxster in the winter,
It goes some thing like BOXSTER + SNOW = LEAVE IT IN GARAGE

Have you fitted Winter tyres to your RRS? If not, I'd seriously think about doing so. The
Standard tyres are just not up to the job in serious winter conditions. 2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black

After some deliberation... im fitting either Continental winter contacts... or pirelli scorpion ice and snow as soon as I take delivery.. i'm told there's nothing to chose between them....
The boxster as you quite rightly say will not see light of day till spring , notwithstanding I'm suddenly popular with my kids and friends again now the ski season is starting and need 4 seats at least...!!
guess that sort of resembles me and my mates skiing !!!

My dashboard and steering wheel are contrast stitched and some other bits.

But I'm in Sydney right now so can't help with photos.

Decided to call RR customer services tomorrow morning and find out exactly what they built and exact spec.....
Question them on the stitching etc......
Sort of concerned now that I've got the wrong lthr and no extended lthr..
Car arrived with "Lunar" stitch...... its a french spec car.... but that option isnt available on their website either....
If its got the wrong lthr ... it may have the wrong seats etc... u can see where this is going !!
Gonna go straight to the horses mouth and save myself some worry....
Problem for me is I will have to pay for it before I see it and travel 24hrs to pick it up..... so really don't want any probs..

Thanks for all the help
