Interesting using the baby wipes.... but I guess you will have to use conditioner quite frequently as itīs bound to take its toll and dry the leather out eventually..... They are designed to remove oil and grease among other things after all.....


Well I guess if your baby were to be covered in oil & grease then they certainly would do the job Thumbs Up

But as to drying the leather out, its quite the opposite, baby wipes contain lanolin, which is a skin conditioner.

Anyway, ALL leather seats are protected by a clear coat which is there to repell spills and stains etc... so all you would be doing is wiping marks off the clear coat Very Happy MY2007 RRS TDV8 Black - tinted glass - side steps- stormer grille - 20" diamond cut alloys - alpaca leather - TV/DVD pack - some blingy chrome bits & bob's

I've got Almond/Almond option and yes, the blue comes off my jeans. I keep a microfibre and some diluted demon shine in the car and it gets it off nicely (every day Embarassed )

Regardless I wouldnt have my interior any other colour. Looks much more plush in beige. The ivory colour for me is too light (almost white!). WINNER - 2009 Best in Class Range Rover Sport Award

Australia 2013 Range Rover Sport 3.0 TDV6 HSE Ipanema Sand

Have had a 2008 with Ivory seats/zebrano/ivory cards, then 2010 with Ivory/ivory, Each had 50000kms on them and both looked perfect no issues. Now a 2013 with ivory seats ebony trim. SWMBO has commented that the Ebony trim gets dirtier much easier and is easier to see dirt than ivory. We find the light interior so much nicer to be n rather than the dark ones. Our preference anyway Very Happy SWMBO owns this car I get to drive occasionally Smile

One of my employees has a black interior RRS, and the 2 cars compared side by side, the ivory looks far more executive and less claustrophobic imho.

Ivory also does not get as hot in the summer sun. Thumbs Up RRS gone

Does look nice Adam...... but I truthfully wouldnīt spec it....... iīd rather go espresso.....or tan... tricolour ...nice bit of contrast
LR brochure and configurator donīt recommend it either... the only colour in the whole range of 23 chioces ..... and I agree


Your mums and wifes cars looks nice ... but too mushy for me...... nice for a lady... but not very manly.... with white that is.....
In your Corris though.... love it.....see... thereīs a nice contrast !!!! 2014.5 SDV6 AB Dynamic ... Fuji /Santorini Pan roof and 22's

Hey mate

My vote would be for ebony seats with ivory dash and doors... Have to admit I'm biased though as that is what I have!! I personally wouldn't want the light seats for the jeans reason!

Hey Paul...... I think the ebony and Ivory dash is a cracking combo..... and i'd order it .....
but I've spec'd an AB so feel duty bound to get an AB tri colour scheme since i'm paying a premium for it... and there isn't a lot else that differentiates the current AB .... unlike the old model that had a lovely body kit to set it apart....

I stopped by Land motors in St Boi on my way down to Barca today... to see their colour book... but someone had taken it.... so i'll go back in the next few days and have a look....seeing the actual colours should make all the difference

No issues spec'ing my car.... took 5 mins knew exactly what i wanted.... but the choosing the interior is doing my head in......
but i'll get it right for me in the end 2014.5 SDV6 AB Dynamic ... Fuji /Santorini Pan roof and 22's

Ok mate. My car came from Autocam Land Rover in Vilafranca, quite close to you. Marc Benach is the guy if you have no luck at Landmotors, he may have the colour book you need.
