Not true the leatherette actually will last just as long or longer as the leather. My X came with leatherette seats, but I purchase a heated seat with leather for the passenger side because the wife miss having heated seat like in our previous Audi. The leatherette interior looks almost brand new, while the leather seat you could tell that it has some wear. Unless you take care of leather eventually they will begin to crack from wear.

Not so much color difference, but the grain pattern will be completely different. The heated seat that I install was black, but had a dark grey trim, that my leatherette seats didn't have, so if your seats are two tone, you will not be able to match it. Why are you changing the bottom?
