I just took delivery of my new leather airbag for my 2000 'S'. It was suppose to be black, the part # didn't match what we ordered. The color code was an A08 though which is suppose to be black.
I'm color blind but this looks like dark gray to me. Parts department is going to try to help. I'll report how it turns out and send pics of an actual black one 'if' they actually do help.
