Leather or Interlagos Cloth?

[gti]

You're right Manaz, I was thinking on my way home I can't get latte leather. I brought a really expensive cow-hide leather handbag (as girls do) and it is a similar colour to latte however a bit darker. If you don't wash your new jeans before wearing the ink can stain the leather.....oh dear I wouldn't want this to happen to my golf.

You must NEVER NEVER NEVER wear new denim on leather seats. It will stain even the Anthracite leather and cloth seats too.

Wear only very well washed denim stuff.

So do you have to interrogate everyone who sits in your car and ask them about their clothing in order to prevent any stains?

No, you don't - but if one of them pretty blonde dames stains your leather with new denim, you'll be reminded of her for ever when you look at the seat, long after the allure of her perfume is gone. (I'm assuming you're a young(ish) bloke here)

It's no different from rejecting people who want to smoke in your car or house - muddy boots don't do a hell of a lot for your carpet either, so they have to stay out as well

No Gerhard...lol....I don't think boys buy handbags as mentioned in one of my previous posts. Nor do I have chicks riding in my car.

I own a MK4 Supra so the only person usually traveling in my car is me, myself and I. The back seats are virtually non-existant anyway. More than 2 is a crowd in this car anyway.

Anyone here have latter leather? Any pics would be good to see. I looked at a site mentioned here in another thread but was wondering if someone can add more pics?

Yeah, now that you mention it, I remember that

Not necessarily a reliable guide though

Get the cow ... save the planet (one less methane producer).

MkIV Supra, nice - turbo or non? Those cars are set up all for the driver, for sure.

Nice, so I'm guessing A - B ain't exactly you.

Go the leather - hot or cold it is my choice over cloth and IMO will last longer. Besides, what else do you use climate control for?

I too would get the cow

But only in black or grey, I really don't like beige interiors because as they age all the cracks and damage become alot more noticeable. Also when dirt settles in these cavities it makes the seats look even worse.

But then again I am talking about used cars...

Don't forget we're talking about the Latte, not Beige. There's a substantial difference.

But yes, the lighter it is the more it will visibly age. But aged black looks crap as well, and in my opinion the brand new black is too sombre. Tastes vary, but I think all black interior including black leather, as in earlier VWs and current Audis is like entering a tomb.

latte interior makes your window tint seem non existant. black is more discreet and classy imo.
