My mate has just wrapped the wood on his S6 C5 with carbon fibre wrap. Looks very good.

But it's not even really wood, is it?! It's like a marble-effect in wood colour. Apparently the new XC90 uses wood to good effect but you'd want it to, how much do they cost?

Shiny!!

Looks almost identical to my Ebony Avant.

Mine has the silver leather too, though apparently it had wood dash/door trim originally.

Hard to tell, there appears to be something wrong with your camera.
