arm rest material?

Are the arm rests leather? Vinyl? Applied leatherique to the seats but Im wondering if it should be done to the arm rests also

Regardless, itseems the armrests are nappa leather. Anyone know if our leather is coated?

My door arm rests look like the same material as the seats. I actually use the same leather cleaner on both. I think Lude was referring to the center console as being plastic, BTW.

I believe the armrest material (door and center console) depend on model/model year and interior options.

For instance, my 2011 C63 has black leather on the door armrest and black plastic on the center one.

But I remember very well a couple of years ago noticing at a local car show, when the 2014 507 were new, that the center armrest in the C63 507 that was present there was in leather.

This caught my attention and I even asked my local dealer for a possible part swap with the 507 leather ones to replace my plastic ones and remember them been quite costly.

I have both leather door arm rests and leather center console arm rests. It was an option. That picture above is both.

Looking through some parts sites I came to the same conclusion. Theres also a large leather section attached to the rear driver side coupe seat and a smaller section on the rear passenger side that has the nappa leather as well

case closed
