Default S7 Sport Seats - Lunar Silver or Black?

Thoughts?

IMO, the black seats w/ the contrast stitching seem to be a bit much in person. The Silver looks classier.

Anyone see Silver Lunar seats in a white car, with the black headliner?

posted some pics of my car that just arrived. Blue with lunar seats. I love the combination, saw another one with black seats and it was not as sharp in person IMO

Both are amazing and super comfortable.
Get the black headliner for sure.

The silver looks great and of course I'm going to be the first to ask for more pictures from every angle...

I've never had a light colored interior. Are the light leather seats hard to maintain?

I notice a couple of raised portions in the upper splash shield between the grill and radiator support - are they for intake air?

Care would be harder only because it shows more dirt. If you are a person who takes care of his leather then color should not be an issue. I got some good quality leather cleaners and conditioners that is all you need.
Will post more pics soon

I think they are the air intake filter housing. Two one for each 4 cylinders.

Default Silver vs Black

i just test drove an S7 with silver interior. Some thoughts:

1. the silver seats in the dealership were already dirty
2. the silver, if clean, looks very sharp. The front doors of silver interiors are 2 toned (silver middle, black on top and bottom, whereas black interior has all black doors (less contrast).

3. If getting silver interior, get a black headliner for contrast, and probably get carbon inlays.

4. I will be ordering a Glacier White with Black interior, aluminum inlays, and silver headliner.

Thanks for the note. Didn't think about the seats picking up dirt.... very important point.

I have decided to go with Phantom Black on Silver, with a Black Headliner. I also went from an S7 to an S6, mainly to gain the middle seat in the rear from my growing family.

My S6 arrives Tuesday, will update w/ photos.
