   Hmm. Baige Leather on a silver. I dunny know mate, without pics of interior and your vehicle its hard to say. Personally leather interior looks smashing but for practicality reasons i wouldn't go for em. I.e. too hot during summer you stick to them, crack easy thus decreasing in value far quicker than other apolostry. And there ice cold during winter and take a long while to warm up LOL!! But pics mate, you'll get more feedback by using visuals.

   never liked beige leather in anything, if its gonna be leather, ice white, black or red.

   Beige leather will show the slightest scuff or mark, you will be forever cleaning the damn thing. If you're gonna go leather get black, shows less and looks far better.
   I've only ever seen one saxo with beige and tbh it didn't suit it.

   My old man's got cream leather in his Bimmer.
   
   I know it's not exactly beige, but he works in a steelworks and rarely washes it and it's fine. And trust me, for nobody who's ever been near a steelworks, they're shitty..... REALLY shitty.
   
   I think he washes the drivers seat about once a year, lol. And it always comes up great. So I wouldn't worry too much about the marks.
   
   
   
   I also think the colour combination will grow on anyone who has doubts at first.
