Hi guys,

i decided i had enough with my black leather in my ivory pearl. i'm going with dark red
found a very profisional shop here in kuwait and he gave me the prices.

natural leather 1,388 $
artificial leather 590 $

" only seats and that little part from the doors"

so the question is , whats the diffirence between the natural and artificial? cons and pros?

btw, both material are high quality and imported from germany.

thanks

 

natural is real, artificial is fake, now i got my smart alex remark off, i would go natural

 

Does he have sample pieces you can feel? I would assume that the natural leather would last longer and resist cracking and stuff more-so than the fake one.

 

its not about fake or real , mercedes still sell thier cars using artificial leather.
what i know so far is that the artificial becomes real hot under the sun , but its easy to clean , the natural is the oppesite but also it can get scratched and stained easily and its hard to clean.

mmmmmmmm duno :s

 

^^ as do 'low end' BMW's. Gotta say though that the fake stuff is pretty convincing. Its like a fake Rolex all but impossile to tell apart (if this is the quality fake stuff)

 

Yeah there are very few cars that have reall leather, although the King Ranch leather in my truck still looks like new with no wrinkles whatsoever

 

why don't you ask the shop that gave you the quote? i'm not a genius or anything... but i think they would have an idea since they will do it for you...

 

Spend a little more and do it right the first time.

 

btw is the leather in our G real?

and yea i asked the shop , he said the only difference is the hear issue , but the price is waaaay different :s dunno if its worth it

 

Go big or go home

Real > Fake in this case (and in many other cases as well )

Should look sweet tho bro

 

I've had couple of BMWs and they all had the artificial leather. I was very happy with it. No heavy wrinkles, no blemishes, no bubbles, and lasted very long. It never fell apart.

I've seen some ugly wear on natural leather. It depends on how heavy you use it tho.

 

damnn
cant wait to see teh finished results!

 

Artificial tends to last longer, less wrinkles, etc than real leather...At least the high end stuff (personal experience w/ the kind they use in Mercedes). I'd ask them for a sample. They're almost impossible to tell apart.

 

Go with the artificial. You can install it. Trash it out---and re-install,---and you'll have money left over.

 

Red should look really good in IP, can't wait to see the outcome !!!

GET NATURAL !!!
