Factory Suede Mfr / Color Code
I just purchased a sport steering wheel and I'm thinking about having it wrapped in Alcantara(TM) or similar suede fabric to match the suede inserts on the seats.
So I have a few questions: Does Jaguar use Alcantara(TM) products or some other manufacturer? If not Alcantara, which manufacturer? What is the color code or product code? Is there an Alcantara(TM) color that matches best? |
From reading a thread on here it seems that the factory suede could in fact be Alcantara. I still have the shift knob from my last car which is wrapped in Alcantara 9040 Deep Black. I'll make it a point to compare when I get home.
|
When I was going over the specs before ordering my car they called it "suedecloth" and I did not notice any mention of Alcantara. It would not surprise me though if it were.
|
On XKs, XJs and early XFs the suedecloth used by Jaguar was called "Alston", I had this headlining on my old XFR.
Not sure if JLR or anyone else still supplies this material though. |
Update: The Alcantara 9040 is definitely NOT a good match. It's much blacker than the leather and suedecloth in my base coupe.
