Leather engine cover

I keep reading from our friends in the colonies that you can get a leather engine cover on some trims. As far as I am aware this has never been an option in the UK. Does anyone have a part number so that I can source a price from a UK dealer please? Alternatively a second hand one... I do like a bit of leather!

Pure Impulse version has it. It was available in the UK.

I did think that I had the top trim level, I have the embossed head rests and the laser etched sill decorations, mine is a 2016 car. Should I have had the leather engine cover too or is it just an option as another member suggested? Sorry, it was you!

The luggage space cover is not leather. It's more like spandex in a frame hinged to the leather engine cover.

I have the embossed headrests, laser etched cills and ceramic gear knob, but no leather cover. Its not a pure impulse. Too new. I think they stopped in 2016?

From memory it was an option on non-Pure Impulse cars @ approx £1000. It only covered the fixed part over the engine, not the hinged triangular section.
