Who's Gone Grey?
This is kind of a trivial question but I'm curious ... every time someone sees my disco interior they always exclaim that they have never seen it in Grey Leather before. This puzzles me because I'm sure there must be plenty Grey leather interiors. Anyone else gone Grey?
This is my interior

It's a good combo to hide the dog slobber in the back.

I always thought my interior was standard but maybe just not common, I was wondering why it puzzled so many people. Although on the dog slobber front not an issue but one of my woofers gets motionsick so the boot has been technicolour yawn in appearance
I really must try new anti sickness pills on her, she never gets stressed just yaks up and then sits there wagging her tail in it .. was that too much info?

Cool well then that's another bargain I got when buying it as kitted out far above the S. I think it was registered on the showroom in the first half of 2005 then sold late in the year and all the other extras on it were a clincher in the sale 8)
Nice to know it's a little unique, bummer if I ever want to buy another cause I love the grey

It has some extras that were normally standard of the 2006 not the 2005 like the Front fog lamps, Automatic headlights, Rain sensor, Electrochromic mirror, footwell lamps, Headlamp powerwashers.
It also has heated screen and washer jets which are not listed as standard S so I think they are extras
I'm not sure about the H&K speakers, amp and 6 disc changer as to whether they were standard on the base level S or an options pack.
*edit everywhere I look there never seems to be a totally clear list of what is standard and what is options, hell I thought the grey leather was standard until I noticed people being surprised at it

Yep heated front and rear seats, oh and privacy glass I gave up working out what was options after trying to search for it and finding hundreds of permutations, I'm now trying to think of what else it has so I can compare with someone else with an S but I can't go out and look cause it's in the garage still
*Edit* Ah but yours is a 2006 right? I read that the electrochromatic mirror, fogs, rain sensors, auto headlights and powerwash were available on 2006 models only? Not the 2005 as standard
The more I read the more my poor mind get confused
