| I think I'm right in saying that you can specify 'body colour' roof in place of black, which in your case would be Santorini, so no contrast. Perhaps that would help? |

How is the Resist fabric aging?
Does it crease?
Does it scratch - eg dog claws?
Any signs of delamination?

I have Khaki resist in my 23MY, and I am happy with it. Not quite as soft as windsor leather, but comfortable and looks hard wearing.
