Trim choices

Chuckyarla · 11-17-2017, 12:04 PM

I've decided I'm going for Bluestone with Ivory leather. Which of these would be the best trim colour?

1. Fineline Ridge (glossy)
2. Fineline Cove (matt)
3. Poplar Grey (glossy)

All opinions appreciated!

There are a couple of different ivory leather options...
Ivory Dakota leather (no accent piping) - I'd match with Fineline Cove
Ivory Dakota leather with contrast stitching and piping - I'd match with Poplar Grey
Ivory/Dark Coffee Nappa - I'd match with the Fineline Ridge

I went for popular grey so biased towards that.

I went with cove with a Matt finish with the Mocha interior. I really wanted Ivory, but I have younger children ?.

I feel like the high gloss, although beautiful, is a bit dated.

What about Piano Black?

SteveinArizona · 11-17-2017, 04:47 PM

Of the three listed choices, I would pick the poplar because it is imo the most compatible with your interior choice.

Lots of finger prints. Be sure to have a microfiber cloth handy.

Nothing is like burl walnut trim for me , it does leave some fingers prints but microfiber cloth works its magic keeping it clean and stain free as much as possible

Piano black is really lovely on G30 and the car already has a lot of black trim with potential fingerprint problems. Thus piano black would hardly worsen things

svdb · 11-18-2017, 04:01 AM

Piano black would be my favorite... nice contrast with the light coloured interior..

morellomax · 11-18-2017, 04:04 AM

None of the 3 options clash. Fineline Ridge is the safest choice and is what I chose after about 3 million hours of deliberating. Very happy with it.

Piano Black is nice, have had it on a previous F10, but the additional cost is ridiculous.

Talk about an embarrassment of riches. They are all beautiful.

What made you decide against the Cove?

Roadkiller · 11-18-2017, 10:31 AM

Poplar Gray for me.

Same for me, Poplar Grey, it looks really good IMO with Ivory White Nappa.

Nothing - I just went with the option most dealers seemed to be putting on their cars with light interiors

12 week extra wait for individual trim!

And that is why I didn't go individual. I ordered my car fully loaded but with no individual items on October 18th and it is on a ship that left yesterday (November 19th). Yay.

I would have loved the Merino caramel full leather upholstery but didn't want the delay.

I booked my individual bits early for March delivery giving me plenty of time.
