Hey Tony, agree with alcantra being the best way to go. Easy to work with I've heard from other chaps here who've also covered accessory pieces (popular stuff here). Certainly looks beautiful and if well done it is indeed as close as it gets to the factory look. Forget leather... unless you have some super skills. Might get lucky but only if you use the thin/silky looking nappa imo.

Seen grey a lot, everyone here seems to go for it and I'm not sure why. Once saw black Alcantra in person and if you'd give me the option, I'd certainly go for that instead. Looks so nice man

No exp with hydro-dip, I've never seen it in fact. How resistant is it? do you have to coat it with something for durability afterward?
