Will Kyalami Orange interior age well?
Hi folks, I currently have a g80 in order in KO interior, but I am now concerned that it may not age well. I am looking to keep this car long term, like 10-15 years. Anyone out there that has or had an orange interior can share their experience? Much appreciated!
Cheers

Really depends on your situation.
Is your car garaged? Is it a daily and if so will it be sitting outside in a parking lot for hours? If it is a daily you may want to do a full tint to help block out the UV rays cause that's what will cause your leather to age. If you're fairly good about keeping your car clean then I'd say you'd be okay. If you're getting the carbon buckets you may want to think about protecting the bolsters. IND is supposedly releasing one soon. |

1. Cleaner (use with disposable kitchen towel): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NAAUAG0/ 2. Only for spots that don't seem to get clean (use with cleaner above): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00J7XSOLS/ 3. Protect after cleaning: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CESR3KU/ This is all very easily DIY. You do not have to pay a professional (unlike say applying high-quality ceramic coating on your exterior after decontamination and paint corrected).

One question is whether it will age well in terms of wear and a separate question is if an interior colour that’s so out there could become dated. I think you will be okay in terms of wear given other bright coloured leather interiors have in my experience not really shown increased wear if reasonably well looked after. Only time will tell in regards to question of the look becoming dated

I had a Champagne Quartz F80 M3 with Sakhir Orange full leather and must confess that after several years, the orange seemed a little too out there for my taste.

I believe thats just an example. First pic is silverstone buckets and second pic is KO buckets with the leather cover that has only been shown in KO.

I had red interior in my charger hellcat. It was the first time I had a color interior. I was very reluctant at first and worried that I would get sick of it. I had the car for 4 years, Now I'm hell bent on never having a black interior ever again. It feels suffocating being in a black interior for me. I went with KO with full leather and I can't wait!
