Re: New toy
Tom,
What car are you thinking of using it in? Have you thought about using solar reflective leather like BMW offer if heat build up is the issue or is it purely an aesthetic change you want? I think the moquette is fine for a car like the Dino where it was a factory finish but in a Porsche for example it may look a bit "pimp my ride" IMHO. If the negative things you've heard about alcantara are shrinkage or discolouration from exposure to strong sunlight I think the same issues (especially fading) apply to the moquette. I'm pretty safe on the fading risk scale as we rarely see the sun in the UK
