Hi Guys i need a bit of a Styling advice here.
I ordered my 500 1.2 lounge in white few week ago with ivory ambience and blue cloth but I'm still debating with myself if was better to invest the 600 pounbds and go for a nice Tan Frau Leather, not the red that i do not really like and not the black that does not come with the ivory ambience. So the big dilemma is now leather or cloth?
Please i need some advice what do you think? Should i chance my order to Tan leather or leave it as it is?
Any advice is more than welcome
Many thanks

Id stay with the cloth, the leather looks amazing when new but it will age quicker than the cloth and go baggy over time. For me though its the contrast between the leather and the really plasticky seat trim low down I dislike. The tan might look a bit weird in a white car too, I think it would look better in say ye ye green or the punk grey etc.
 
£600 is a lot of money, but I do think the leather would look beautiful. However, as has been said, it will age faster than cloth and will deny you the small under-seat storage facility. For me this is the breaker. I reckon I need at least one small place other than the boot to hide things in.

Also, the cloth seats are very smart.
 
Leather or cloth, a real dilemma.

I have red leather on a 1.4 Sport, so has to be with the black ambience. The leather is okay, showing signs of stretch at 3500 miles, but shows no sign of wear so quite happy. The car is bossa nove white. The red looks even better with the ivory ambience. Tan looks really retro, especially with the ivory, so in keeping with the 500 ethos.

£600, I guess my response would be after 4 months of ownership, take it or leave it, I like the leather, but I would love the car irrespective of the leather, and some of the cloth looks superb.

So in retrospect, I seem to have been no help whatsoever. Sorry.
