Originally I wanted black/grey leatherette, anthracite dash, and normal (light grey) headliner. Because fo the curve ball I decided to get the black leatherette, anthracite dash, and anthracite headliner.

Does anyone have a couple good pics of the latter combo? Just to put my mind at ease about the decision. If you have the chrome lined interior, that would be a bonus since I ordered it with the the combo.

Thanks
I'm having the same problem! I am planning to get the exact same specs. It's really frustrating since I like the grey/black leatherette, but don't really like the grey doors, even though they do make the anthracite door rings stand out nicely. There is just something 'not right' with them... I don't really like the all black leatherette either , so I'm considering the space cloth as that keeps the doors black... However, I am pretty sick of cloth, and it gets so nasty. I think it's really infuriating when they do stuff like this. I think they are just doing it so people upgrade to the S model. My dealer has one coming in in about a month, so I'm going to go look at it and see if the grey doors look weird or not. I fear getting the all-black interior will make it uber hot since it's leatherette and all...

I am going to tint pretty dark (35%) so that will help with the heat issue. Plus it is going to look great with the black roof.

I'm in the same boat. I'd like to get the gray leatherette, but i'm not sure about the gray doors. I've gone to a couple of dealerships and no one has gray doors to look at. Does anyone have a pic of the gray doors with the anthracite?

I'm thinking of going for the panther black leatherette. I like the look of it, but have been turned off by the 'heat' factor... I think whatever I choose, I'm going to go with what I like and not base it on thing's like that anymore... I may hate it 3 mos. out of the year, but it will be worth it the rest of it I'm almost completely against getting cloth now, haha - with all the outdoorsy stuff I do, it will be dirty in no time! (a reason I'm getting rubber floor mats!!)

Here's a pic I found of the grey doors in the base MC. I did hear something that if you upgrade to sports seats (which is what I am doing) then the doors stay black... I will have to check on that one...

I just placed my order and asked about the gray leatherette and gray doors and the MA confirmed that the doors go gray on the MC. Let me know if you hear otherwise.
I've changed my order to the black leatherette.
