Re: Beige Interieur Leather

Welcome to the forum Felix! I chose black for aesthetics and practicality. Blue jeans destroyed the white leather in my car and I am also not keen on the sheepskin covers! In Europe there is less need for air conditioning, however, you should bear in mind for W&B you will need to add around 40kg...
