They also show skins for M8 / M9 (immediately above the M240 listing) but looking at the options it seems that, nowadays, they only offer a choice of four colours - Black; Blue; Navy Blue and Red for these cameras.

A few years ago I bought a set from them to re-skin my M Monochrom and at that time I could choose from the same colour options as for the M3 (etc.) cameras which comprised Black; Blue; Navy Blue; Red; Camel; Deep Pink; Light Green and Ochre.

The quality of cut and finish is superb. I'd recommend them most heartily. FWIW I was a Dull Boy and chose Black...

The first two choices in my list should be more favorable. More choices, and more convenient if you are close to North America. They are all laser cut, very precise. The key is the leather quality. The second in the list has best material choice.

This might bd a self-installed skin. You can google many sources. A genuine leather skin usually costs around $30. many colors to choose. It's easy to install.

The risk of self-installed skin is loosing Leica's waranttee. 

Actually, the skin was done by Leica in Germany.  Leica of New Jersey confirmed the red skin was put on with a CLA in 2021 for the previous owner…!

Late to the part but changing the leather does not affect the guarantee in my experience. Quite a few years back I sent in an M9M which I had put (rather ugly) lizard on and Leica called me to ask which a-la-carte leather would I prefer as they were replacing the skin as part of the guarantee repair.

When it went to Leica for a CLA, the owner asked for them to put the red skin on also.  It is documented in 2022 for the CLA and red skin that Leica did.  La Carte by Leica…!
