Has anyone had these long enough to comment on upkeep
I’ve had the car about 6 months and I applied colourlock leather shield and keep up after the leather and have not noticed any stains. I love Dravit over silverstone. Dravit over tartufo is my second favorite, will be easier to keep up after for sure. And I wear jeans, just keep a small bottle of leather cleaner and microfiber in the car and wipe off as I see anything.

A few photos of my interior. Love it! Again, there is no wrong decision. There are many great options with Dravit!

Good morning,

I ordered my M3CX Dravit Grey with full merino Ivory White.

I still can't decide on the carbon exteriour package. It really looks nice, especially with Vorsteiner grill, but is it really noticable with Dravit and justifies the price mark?

Same here, mostly. I've had my M4 with Silverstone 15 months and 18,000 miles, applied CarPro Leather immediately, and maintain with Colourlock (mild) leather cleaner (any time I see any dye transfer). No stains or discoloration whatsoever.

So if you clean it immediately there'll be no stain?

If you clean a spot as you see it, it sits on the leather a shorter period of time, therefore it’s less likely to leave a stain. I don’t think any product out there will prevent you from ever getting a stain. Just need to be proactive in removing.

My other vehicles have ceramic coated leather and I do still get SOME, but not as much dye transfer from jeans. I clean it as I see it, and I haven’t had an issue.

I have this combo. About 14k miles in now and no issues as long as you look after it, don't leave it uncleaned for weeks on end.

I ended up getting a pull over cover for the driver seat just for the rainy days I get in it drenched etc.

Dravit and carbon looks great together.

Agreed, I love the look! For me it is just the right amount of contrast.
Only you can decide if the cost is justifiable but for me 100%!

I went with orange full merino leather and the carbon bucket seats. Mine should arrive next week or the first week of April. Can’t wait!

I think the carbon buckets in ko look great. Non buckets I may go with black.

Damn those buckets look amazing.
I don’t want to regret not getting them.
Do most opt for them?

I don’t really drive really long distances so comfort isn’t an issue

I didn’t get them, as the bolsters between the thighs dug into me… if you’re going to take it to the track, you may want buckets. If you like the look and find them comfy enough, go for it. I have family who are a good 6 hour drive away, and rugby quads, so I passed

I got them and didn’t think twice about it. They are unique and look great. They are not for long distance or perhaps daily driving and I would assume the standard seats are more comfortable for most people, but this isn’t my daily driver so it’s a no brainer for me. They are sweet.

Just got her back from ppf, ceramic and tint! Even though the dealer “forgot” to option my sunroof (go easy on me), I am so glad I picked this combo!

I am convinced there’s no better color than Dravit Grey.

I’ll break out the real camera in the coming weeks.

Great looking ride! I have said it before, I flip flopped on the color (Brooklyn and a couple of frozen options) but so so glad I landed on Dravit! I get countless compliments on the color. It is a different color in every different lighting scenario and I love all of them.

I love it. So glad I didn’t go Brooklyn grey. And so true about the color in different situations. It’s amazing.
