T6.1 Seat trim options -

[trap125]

Hi,

I'm new to the forum and was after some opinions on choice of seat trim.

I've just paid a deposit for a new 6.1 Highline combi and have specced it with the Palladium "Leatherette Mesh" option. I was wondering what the thoughts were on this over the cloth option? I've also gone for heated seats if this makes a difference in choice. I haven't seen either option in the flesh so I'm a bit in the dark... I don't want to make a mistake in choosing the wrong option!

Any opinions / thoughts would be much appreciated.

The leatherette is a plastic so can be a bit hot. They look cool though. We spec all our vans with the cloth

Hi.. @trap125 ... I’d say that if in the future you want to change the internal colours and your seat trim doesn’t match ..your likely to re- trim the seats anyway...But if you’ve a young family easy to wipe down.. personally I like the lighter colours..
doesn't matter what trim you have ..Heated seats still make your bum hot

Hope the Heated Seats are more accurately controllable than the T6 heating...

Thanks for the reply. I'm guessing the there is a good reason you spec all your vans with cloth as opposed to leatherette? How durable is the leatherette? Is it prone to tearing? Is the "Robusta" cloth maybe a better option? Sorry for all the questions!

They are a bit darker than they photograph.

I’ve ordered this in my 6.1 Kombi. I swapped out the seats in my T6 for these but it was in black, I really liked the look and feel but have just realised it’s a lighter colour.

This shows it pretty well although not sure about it in my Candy White now I’ve seen it.
