I've just bought some of this in black. Decided against using it on my dash but only down to personal preference, I'll find something to use it for in the future. It looks exactly like proper alcantara (I've held various sample bits against it myself) and for a fiver delivered is an absolute bargain. Came on a roll and there is easily enough to do every surface inside the VX.
Can't speak for the other colours on offer but the black is a nice quality. It's a real deep jet black and although quite a heavy weight backed material should be easily workable around all but the tightest of VX contours.

Yep that's true and a good point to bare in mind. I can't vouch for the long term stability of my recommendation above as it's only a recent purchase and I have not put it to use anywhere yet. That said this genuine Alcantara on my dash and console and the £4 a metre faux suede I used on my door surrounds are both as good as the day they where fitted around two years ago. I figure since it's so hard to distinguish the difference between the real deal the risk of having to re-do the job say every couple of years is worth it when it'll cost you a tenth of the price.

Cheap stuff -

Massive thread resurrection, talking about the interior parts of a VX (dash, door cards, steering column) how many metres do you think it would take to do it all??
Had some quotes for re-trimming but considering giving this a go myself as people seem to have achieved some great results themselves.
