Default Convertible A-Pillar

Sometimes, I wonder why I try.

The A Pillar on my XKR looked terrible. A few stains and typical sagging. So I bought a new one.

I hadn't really counted on the fabric fading so much as to really stand out.

I'd put the old one back, but the fabric it practically disintegrated on removal (and has a broken tab).

For a few I thought the interior may be oatmeal, but then saw some pictures. I know this is minor but man does it irk me. I guess the real solution is to have all 3 bits recovered...

Sometime even when you win, you lose :-)

Actually, I'm not sure on the color. Can someone post their Gray and Oatmeal?

Thanks!

Ordered an Oatmeal.

May have a real nice/new A pillar for sale soon (in some color) :-)

I recovered them myself- not too difficult and pretty inexpensive!
