Ah well that is where I'm undecided!

Originally I ordered the full designo leather options i.e. seats, steering wheel (which I can't now have, see above) and leather trim parts (which includes dash strips, door handle inserts and handbrake lever). The trim parts are replaced by carbon fibre on the performance pack which I do like but would like to keep the red trim strips on the dash and either side of the steering wheel. I've been told it's either one or the other and you can't split the two options which is a shame because I would prefer the carbon fibre on the door handles and handbrake lever as I can see these getting pretty grubby in red leather.

I was thinking of asking the MB dealer if it would be possible to have one or the other set of trim parts put in the boot (after all I will have paid for both!) and then I can get the selected parts fitted at a later date.

I was thinking maybe get all the carbon fibre fitted and then have the designo strip fitted later?? Does anyone know if this can be done or do all these parts need to be factory fitted?

I know I'm probably being a little bit awkward but hey it's a lot of money and it should be exactly how I want it. I can also hear an awful lot of you saying just go for the carbon fibre but the red designo strips on the dash just seem to tie it all together nicely.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
