Gotham Grey

Does anyone have pictures of the Gotham Grey interior? I searched but could not find many. And how the interior would look with different trims? GG looks really nice with the Piano Black trim.. Pretty Classy. But then with the other trims it feels like someone put in Saturn Plastic in a mini.

Also if one does option Gotham Grey does it change the color of the rear plastic as well?

It does change the color of the rear plastic. I like the look as it brightens up the inside of the car, and also seems to not be quite as hot as when I get into a black interior. I went with the standard dash color and I think it looks nice. Pic is in the thread indicated below. If you want more I can take some tonight when I get home.

This is the combo I picked for my interior as well--except I added the chrome line on the interior as well. My outside color is AB/AB--I wanted an all gray/black car.

I thought the GG was no charge? I think the PB was $200 on mine.

Bump.

How is it holding up. Is it more difficult to keep clean?

That Gotham Grey looks very nice. I like the way it brightens up the interior. Now a question, are the plastic panels in the back & boot Gotham Grey also?

I can't compare it because I haven't had the darker color to compare it to, but keeping it clean has not been an issue.

The panels in the back seat are GG, but the boot is covered in that black "felt like" material. The inner pillars are the same as the inner roof (I think).
