    Nimbus/Expresso Interior

    Hi Guys,

    I have a few weeks left to finalize my build. I have finally decided on the Namib Orange and I think the Nimbus/Expresso Compliments it nicely.

    Concerns: Its friggen White. Will get dirty easily

    Has anybody got their D5's With this interior and What has your experiences been so far. I have always had Black Interior. Thinking a change would be nice.. Just not sure if I will regret it.

    You can always get the seats treated with scotchgard or something too that effect. I have personally found that the dye from denim jeans seems too carry over onto the seats. My wifes D4 had cream interior and was a nightmare for that. However a packet of baby wet wipes always did the trick though. Thumbs Up

    Like you Lee always had black. I've now gone for the acorn, must admit a little nervous about that. Although had a look at the swatch for that colour and its not too light. But time will tell whether or not it was a mistake or not.

    I stuck with Black as I hadn't seen the Acorn interior in the flesh and the brochure didn't show it favourably.

    It was to much of a risk to take an exterior colour and an interior colour that I hadn't seen.

    I did have the cirrus interior on my DS and it was white, I became a bit obsessed with cleaning it, dirt and grime showed up too easily.

    Too early to tell and I am still in the extremely careful stage, but having had a dark one last time I fancied a change. The biggest issue as mentioned is dye transfer from jeans. I did have a similar colour many cars ago and it always cleaned up well, but others have found it difficult to deal with the dyeing. To be fair my black one was not very forgiving as it does show up mud and dust easily compared to the almond colour of the previous one.

    I am really pleased with the way it looks, even if I had to pop outside after I saw these and clean the fingerprints off the piano black trim around the screen and AC controls.

    Hi Neilk,

    Thank you so much, love the photos. Can you please reply to this thread as your time with it grows. I have a few solid weeks all going well before i have to finalise my build.

    Sometime Change is good. If we don't change how are we suppose to know we don't like it. So I am happy to try as I think the front interior looks awesome. They both do to be honest.
