Do you guys think Silverstone or Kyalami would be easier to keep clean/show less.

Silverstone will show more dirt.

Having said that, get a quality coating on it and keep looking after it and you'll be fine. Buy what you want. The maintenance level isn't THAT different. Unless you get black and just like dirty seats that get greasy and shiny.

Kyalami will be WAYYYY easier, trust me.

I have Silverstone, and it's a pain to keep clean, especially in the summer (armrests, headrests, etc.).

And mine is ceramic coated as well.

But I drive my car all the time (55,000+ miles) so I'm in and out of my car a lot. If it's a low-mileage, weekend vehicle, it'll be easier.

Kyalami was very easy to keep clean, I never had any issues with it at all.

Silverstone or anyhring that light will require a lot of upkeep, not to mention jeans can rub off easily onto the leather.

For those who have seen both what we your thoughts? I think both will look good paired with IOMG, the choice is still a tough one.

edit: while some configurators show individual colors with CF seats the general consensus is you can't order them as such. I should know more once I try ordering mine.
Im doing Full Fiona Red for my IOMG … every green I see has Kyalami… too orangey for me… always love red interior

Well, seems like a lot of post from today, so regardless of whether the OP says or did I’m going with Fiona

Very accurate, but while I had the car, it did just fine.
