Thank you for your persistence in bringing your post back on focus - and for updating us with progress.
I understand you were worried about speccing ivory trim and leather seats. With the benefit of hindsight, are you happy with your decisions?
The main reason I dithered about the leather was more to do with the expense, but once I'd bitten the bullet and decided to pay the extra I've been very happy with it. The seats on my lupo became very worn - sun faded with holes down the side and generally tatty looking, the leather, even with the bulge problem still looks like new. I do like the colour choice, however had there been a cream or ivory leather option I would have chosen that by preference.
With regards to the ivory trim again I'm very pleased with it. The car feels bright inside, I've not noticed the wheel becoming grubby either which had been my biggest concern (I do keep some leather wipes on hand just in case).
The combo I picked does seem to be a female choice if that makes sense, the majority of men on here don't like the tan leather option, but the women do.
Colour choice and spec is so subjective, but I'm still very happy with my decision
