The two shift paddles have different surfaces.

Is the passenger and engine bay separator covered in Alcantara? Or leather?

The standard dashboard is made of a polyurethane slush skin. As an option, you can have it covered with leather Nappa black on the top section and colored leather Merino on the lower side.

Can you mount a racing harness to the seats?

The serial version of the vehicle does not support the use of multi-point harnesses.

Is the red back of the shift paddlers made of carbon fiber too? Or is it metal/aluminium or normal plastic?

No, the red back of the shift paddles is rubberized plastic to improve tactile grip. The upshift paddle has little hexagonal knobs on it whereas the downshift paddle has little hexagonal dimples to distinguish both from a pure touch feeling.

Can the red paddle accent be changed to another color?

No, there is no alternative color available. Red is used as an accent color for M specific functional parts too.

What other colors do the carbon fiber seats come in?

The M Carbon seats will be available in Black, Silverstone/Black, Kyalami Orange/Black, Yas Marina Blue/Black, Fjord Blue/Black, Fiona Red/Black and Ivory White. The CFRP parts are always carbon fibre in its natural appeal woven in Köper 3K binding.
