Check your vin on one of those vin checker websites (it's free). I'm pretty sure if you have the Napa package that a lot of ours came with it's animal. It may even be if you don't. Even though I do, I have a feeling the door inserts might be MB-Tex.

All AMG C32 and C55 s came with Napa Leather standard
No MB Tex here but im sure with an individualization program it may be an option to select............ if case youre a diehard animal rights activist.

That's what I thought, I just wasn't sure. Are our door inserts Napa too? They definitely seem like a different material to me. A lot more grainy.

Doors inserts are napa leather. The only things that aren't are the backs.

Leather heads
Yeah, the definition of leather seats is that some cow goes naked. I had wondered what leather was used in the C32 cause, I drove a C280 loaner from the dealer while my car was being serviced last week. It was the first non-AMG benz that I had ever driven save for a C320K a long time ago. I noticed that the 280's seats were not as nice. I also was reminded how special the AMG engines and suspension really are!!!

As for the door inserts, I wonder if maybe they used weasel leather for those, lol
