dmg11eng Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Its time to order GTi No.3. Thinking of Cream Leather. Anybody got any pics?? Ideas for a nice contrasting exterior colour?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussie_WAITING Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 cream? obviously another option that hasn't made it's way down under. I've got beige leather ... my thoughts would be cream could look tacky unless with the right colour ... which colour that would be i don't know be interested to see it in cream though!

puttling Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Cream leather - not sure they do that in UK? They do Beige and Graphite I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmg11eng Posted May 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 My mistake, I meant beige, didn't use exact terminology from the brochure. Would anybody have a beige leather interior pic?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puttling Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 I reckon Beige would look cool with the Graphite Blue!!! I think with the black the contrast may be a little too strong. (My opinion) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy_Driver Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 We have a 06 GTI and 03 Volvo S60 - GTI is Blue Graphite with anthracite leather and Volvo is Met Silver with Beige Leather - if I had to do it all again I would definitely have got grey leather in Volvo. Beige is nice and all that but in the Volvo the dash and door panels are all matched etc and it starts to look scruffy and dirty after a few years. I am now starting to take far more interest in cleaning and valeting the Volvo and have got my liquid leather etc now to use (Volvo was getting jealous of treatment GTI was getting) so will see how beige comes up. Overall recommendation is avoid beige. Get Blue Graphite and Anthracite leather - you will Love it! Regards Paddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmg11eng Posted May 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Thanks for all the pics people. I my two colour combo's I'm thinking of at the moment are Blue Graphiite + Beige Leather. Or Shadow Blue and Beige Leather. Opinions please?? Also do Recaro's only come in black leather?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 yes the recaros come in black leather too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simonl Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Sorry i think that cream leather sucks. Looks way to Lexus for a GTI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin275 Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Yes, I don't think it suits the GTI either. With light coloured plastic low down and beige carpets, it will be a pig to keep clean and will start to look shabby quite quickly imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Im not too shure either BUT theres a LOT of the options that i would not class as GTI either, More luxury S class, but 99% of people on here think there 'needed', Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simonl Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Take your point, but cream leather is overkill IMO. Something like SatNav is a luxury that doesn't upset the asthetics of the cars look. Cream leather completely changes the whole cars ambience from sporty to SE. IMO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleybrooke Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Just needs some wood trim to set the tone. Still if its your third a change could be fun... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppetboy Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 my personal opinion is that the interlagos cloth just totally hits the mark on the GTI... I don't much like leather seats though, sticky in summer cold in winter. But the cream/beige looks particularly minging! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
