Re: Red Leather

Also does the 1.3 Sport come with Electric Wing mirrors? (And electric Wing if they are the chrome option aswell?)

On the spec on the Fiat website there is a "-" which denotes to me that its a no!

Re: Red Leather

All models come with electric mirrors. The Sport and the Lounge get heated electric mirrors; whether you have chrome ones or body coloured

Re: Red Leather

I don't usually go for leather in cars, but this cherry red is gorgeous. The tan looks good too. The trouble is that the standard tweed is just so smart. But I suppose a white one, or possibly blue, with cherry red leather seats might be rather delightful. Now, are they comfy? When I was a kid you could get green leather too, which could be bright and fun. Just as long as it's not the coal scuttle black...

Re: Red Leather

Alot of the pics ive seen of the red leather have made it look wrinkled. Im assured this is an artifact by those that have it but its still difficult to know for sure.

Re: Red Leather

I suppose with time we'll get to see all the combinations in the flesh, and that'll help (me) a lot. I've seen the part vinyl seats, but in a dark colour which I failed to study properly. Must take another look. Now I need to see the leather.
Leather always wrinkles and creases by the way, and this is part of the character of the material. Good quality leather will always look smart though.

Re: Red Leather

The Grande Punto leather seats look firm and still look pretty good after 25k mileage and a trip to Rome.

However I'm afraid to say (especially as I've ordered the Red leather) that those pics that Suasexed posted most of em look wrinkley and too much fabric... Not flat and stiff..

Do you think Red Leather and Red/Black Ambience may be a bit overkill too?

No, both the same seat.

Re: Red Leather

Red leather with red-black will be stunning - as long as you keep it washed!

I can assure you the flash light has created small shadows that ak the seats appear wrinkled because they are basically very flat unlike a lot of leather seats that have seams running accross them.
