Two-Tone Leather Question

How do people get the two-tone leather option?
When I try to build my own car on MBUSA.com, it does NOT allow me to pick dual tone leather (example, black/blue or black/red, etc...).
I spent almost an hour on the website trying different options and different routes, but it just will NOT let me select dual-tone leather, so does anybody know how other people order it?
If I have a car that is single-tone leather, can I install dual-tone leather on it later on?

I guess that option joined the ranks of tire pressure monitoring system, solar panels, driving dynamic seats, rest function (although this one might be back), and distronic on non-AMG models. In other words, no longer available.

But from time to time, I still see 2005 and 2006 E55 still have that two-tone option. I just saw one on autotrader not too long ago ???

Is it installed aftermarket?

The 2 tone leather was available in 2005 for sure as I have the blue inserts in mine. It is my understanding that the option was available in 2006. My guess is that 06 was the last year that it was available.

I have Black/Blue seats in my 06 E55. Two-tone seats are not available on the E63 as far as I know.

Yes please... I would like to see pictures of the parts they modified.
How was the quality?
How was the overall finish?
Did you lose any heating or vantilation options? Some third-party shops told me, that the seats will lose these options when modified.
Which Brabus dealer did you take it to?

If pictures are too big for the thread, please forward them to my e-mail: check your private messages...
