QUOTE(Ah_Bear @ Mar 2 2013, 12:23 AM) Half leather is typically a cut-cost action/cut-cost strategy for most budget brand or entry level model car to give interior a sumptuous look for minimum cost to attract buyers. Half leather of construction will be genuine leather material upholstered on frequently touched and seating surface. Headrest will be front leather only. Elsewhere like rear, sides, seat pockets will be made of PVC (synthetic material which mimics the look and texture of genuine leather). Some car manufacturer like Toyota will call it "leather combination interior" to make it sound like less cheap impression. Just take a look at the current new Toyota Vios G spec in showroom. Semi-leather will be 1/4 genuine leather part of whole seat with mixture of let's say leather or alcantara with 75% of fabric material as found in most sports bucket seats. Full leather. Well, the words are already self explanatory. Seats everywhere 100% front, side, rear,hidden area and door panel padded will be cladded with genuine leather which found in more expensive cars. For leather material itself, it has 2 types for car seats and upholstery. Grained leather and Napa leather. Grained leather has its textured and expensive looks to it and it can be customised to make it wrinkled for it's thick, luxury look and rich feel. Napa is soft and supple to the touch without alot rough texture for clean cut and smooth finish (think of it as leather wallet). oh i see. thanks for the info man. i will sign the agreement with bank this monday. but SA ask for downpayment today so they can proceed with bodykit and etc2. should i pay full? or should i pay partially and pay the rest when i collect my car? never buy a car before. lol~
