Lounge vs punch leather

Hi fellow owners,

As you may have seen from my other posts, I am looking to order my 3rd Cooper S.

I am toying between Chili Red and Pepper White, but either way was going to have the black lounge leather seats, however have heard mixed reviews on them. I have black punch leather in my current car.

Any advice/opinions would be greatly appreciated as think I'm going to order tomorrow!

Also any images of the lounge leather as my dealer hasn't a car with these

I have black lounge leather on mine Pepper White /Black JCW S IThe seats are the first thing people compliment me on when they open the door. The seats do look stunning!

Punch is perhaps sportier to look at - looks good too

Go what you like with if budget can stand the hike!

Watch out the black lounge leather looks a little different as theere is stitching in centre panels too looks much better IMO

I have them, they're gorgeous! I will revert to Punch when I get my JCW as I'm going for a sporty ambience next time and the lounge is more luxurious
