I finally took some unflashed pics of the nappa leather door pulls work.

Scroll down quite a bit there and you will see big clear pics . You don´t have to be registered.

Now when you close every door you grab nappa leather which is like touching a baby face. A totally diff feeling than grabbing a cheap plastic door pull....
They also have stitching on the inner part that you feel when you grab the door pulls to close the doors.
The job took lots of hours (specially sanding the small circles was really tiresome) and the nappa leather is very pricey, but the looks of it in person are just awesome.
Much like the hirsch leather dash for the 9-3 if you know it.


New door sills and new 8" navigation system will follow (I hope!).

Wow, they look stock... but better!

Very impressed with your work. Did you also do the black door panels or are they stock. They look like a perfect match.

Nope Frank, only door pulls.
I did think a lot about doing the lower door compartments in nappa as well, the problem was they´d get soon scuffed by things you leave there.

Door panels are stock and they look very fine but they still are just vinyl (at least after MY02) so the touch of them is not even comparable to the nappa door pulls.....
I really did want to upgrade them, the problem was then I´d have to upgrade the front seats as well to match, so I would loose the side airbags installed in those...

Honestly best things to upgrade in nappa are:

-2 cheap plastics behind steering wheel (any 9-5)
-center console (specially if dash top is black)
-dash panel and door pulls ONLY if your interior is black/grey
