Take a look at this video from Frankfurt of the Mulsanne. The B pillar is probably covered with leather (red arrow), but where the B pillar meets the door sill (yellow arrow) still looks like plastic to me.

That's most definitely a rendering in the first pic, Gary. Too hard to tell in the 2nd pick but I'm pretty sure that's leather too.

Are you planning on buying a Mulsanne?

No. Out of my price range. I would like to pick up a used Arnage, however. Bentley Highpoint has got a 2000 Red Label I've been drooling over, but this is one indulgence I've got to put off for a few years.

It's leather all over the place and that is a 3D rendering, agree with you that it sort of looks like plastic though but I'm 99% sure.

Made a call - the whole interior of Mulsanne is covered with leather with an excepcion of floor sector and entrance panels. I do not wanted to act like a fool asking about those renderings because I am more than sure that it is renderings and now I know that it is a leather, only looks like plastic.

Look at the seatbelt, it's a rendering for sure.

Based on that info I'd say the piece that looks the most like plastic to me (yellow arrow) is plastic.

Yep, you're right. I hadn't noticed that. Either that inboard seat belt was added with Photoshop, or it is indeed a rendering. But if it is a rendering I would think they could render the seat belt anchor accurately, no? I mean, look at how accurate the other details are.

The pic is a rendering, your an idiot.

But most of all, who the **** cares??? You need something else in your life if you are spending this much time on this. Get a dog perhaps. Or a boyfriend.

There's one on every forum.

And by the way, it's "You're an idiot," not "your." "Your" is a posessive pronoun; "You're" is a contraction of "You are," as in "You are, too."
