Here in Aus we get a choice of Black Leather, or AMG Black Leather with red top stitching. Apart from the red top stitching, does anyone know if there are any other differences between the two types of seat? Are the seat bolsters different? perhaps a difference in comfort?

In the UK it's a choice between fake leather or real leather, both black with red stitching, no difference in the seats.

I have the black leather here in the US on my GLC43.

the black has light gray / white stitching

I quite like the light grey / white stitching, i reckon it looks classy. Its what i ordered as well. What colour is your car, rihallix?

rihallix

It's black. I'm very happy with the black. This AMG feels like it was meant to be black.

Works great with some AC/DC blaring out of the windows.

That black looks awesome!!!! You have the black belts with the black leather, correct? Talking with my rep and he's saying there is a conflict with that combo.

I have the upgraded black leather (not designo) with black belts. So you are correct. It is a 2017 build. All I can think of is certain options get locked in the nearer it gets to the build date. I had 21 inch titanium rims locked in - could not switch - they look amazing and totally make the car.

it has black ash in the center and doors. I really like that - it doesn't smear at all.

if I get a chance I'll post an interior photo.

Very nice, rihallix!. Do you have any pics of the inside?

Just talked with my Rep and the only combo that doesn't work with black seatbelt is the black with white stitching. I guess 2018 is going to be different in that respect.

Meant to update the info on this, sorry. It was a glitch in the system that wouldn't allow you to select black belts with the black leather with white stitching. However, if you don't select red or black belts then the 221 option code takes and it should have black belts outfitted.

damn. Really glad I have a 2017. The options are not so good on the 2018s except for carplay

love the black ash door inserts, black seat belts and black leather with white stitching
