Crema interior..... anyone living with it ?

thoughts ?

comments ?

looks like it would be super hard to keep clean.....

thx

 

I have two cream/ivory leather interiors, one of them Connolly hide in the Jaguar.

No jeans. They dye transfer but most other cotton should be ok if it's khaki or similar. Connolly resists this much better probably due to the hide prep and vatting process.

Daily driven, use custom leather/alcantara mixed seat covers. The only sure fire way to avoid marks and dirt.

 

I had a crema interior in a Lotus Esprit. Yea, No jeans ever. I also used two white Tshirts for a seat cover. One on the top and one on the bottom.

But man are they pretty!

 

We have crema in our '04 360 Spider. Interior was outstanding when we bought the car over two years ago, and looks even better now. I think due to diligent cleaning and conditioning. I use Gliptone BTW. I have worn jeans in the car a couple of times with no problem, but don't make a habit of it. Have a pickup and farm tractor for jeans.

Crema is my favorite Ferrari upholstery color. Have a similar color in our BMW.

OK, so here's a pic:

Guys using covers can you post pics? I can't help but thinking of plastic covered sofas.

 

Crema in our 308 QV. The harder part for cleanliness than the leather is the thread.

 

I love my crema regardless that it gets dirty...

A couple pics: when new, when ruined (since fixed) , car seat cover I bought ( bought 2 but really only need for my side)
I haven't taken a pic with it on, I will when i get a chance. Color almost matches (I could careless about it being a seat cover, if i need to i'll remove it when I need to show car)

I had crema with black piping in my 308 - hated it. always showing the dirt, and stress cracks... used Leatherique to re color it and it worked ok... I was just not a fan of the color.

it was a metallic black with crema / black interior

 

Love the Crema color...and mixed Blue Scuro for the dash with blue carpet would my ideal Ferrari interior. I have something similar in my DB7. There, the seat color is Parchment, which is kind of a "dirty white" anyhow. Blue piping on the seats and Pacific Blue for the rest of the leather. Blue carpets with Parchment piping. Seems to wear well (since 2011)...

Love the Ferrari Crema interior - Looks classier than any other colour interior IMO!

When it comes to jeans and My 348, light coloured and stonewashed jeans have caused no problems whatsoever, but I do avoid wearing dark blue/black jeans in the car.

The interior gets a regular light cleaning with Autoglym leather care products, but that's no big deal to Me as it's well worth the effort.

It's funny because Crema interiors don't seem to be very popular in the USA, whereas Tan interiors do seem to be popular.

Here in the UK it's the other way round! - Crema leather is much preferred in Ferrari's than Tan leather!

 

I love the crema in my 430 and have had a similar colour (porcelain) in my AMGs. Dark jeans are the worst, particularly in damp weather. But avoid those and it's fine. No discolouration on any of them, yet. Am not organised enough to use covers. And a shame to cover up a beautiful Daytona seat.

 

Looks passable and functional.
Who made your covers? I can't make out the tag.

 

If you use covers over a seat with side impact airbags in them please make sure they were designed to be used with a side impact airbag. The deflection could be an issue in a big accident. Just food for thought.

 

Coverking. I thought they would come out poorly but the quality surprised me. Alcantara and leatherette. I like not having to clean or worry what I am wearing to the detriment of the seat as the leather is quite soft and marrs easily.
