| Ivory or Almond? Advice please |
|
I have the almond interior on my 2010 D4 and have just ordered it again on my new causeway grey one. But I keep seeing ivory which does look v luxurious... Just wondering what people think, is it practical etc? We have 3 children but they're teenagers and spend much more time in my wife's Evoque 
Also, with which finishers? Black lacquer is my automatic choice, but anyone ordered ivory...?? 2010 D4 HSE
2013 Range Rover Evoque Prestige
2014 Discovery HSE (on order)

My D4 has the Almond/Arrabbica interior. My wife's new D4 has it specced too. My new one has the Ivory with the piano black finishers. I'll let you know when I collect it in Thursday  Personally, I like it having seen it in the showroom model the other week. I still think you'll be happy with your choice though. BTW My wifes' new D4 is the same colour inside and out as yours so excellent choice ! Where in Kent are you? If you come to the next K.A.M meeting, we could compare notes! LOL

Ivory every time. We have it in our RRS and it looks superb but you do have to keep on top of the 'blue jeans transfer ' issues. But it is well worth the effort.
We have ordered our new Corris Grey Discovery with the Ivory and Piano Black trim finishers and after seeing one in the showroom after we had placed our order it just reaffirmed our choice.
I actually think it looks better in the Discovery as it's only the seats that are Ivory and it looks really classy and bold.
I'm sure though whatever you order will look nice but Ivory is that extra smile!

Ivory is the easiest interior to sell and my favourite by a margin...

Thanks guys. I agree ivory does look classier. My only hesitation is that in the D4, unlike RR's, the dash is black and can look like a bit of a slab... Hence why I wondered about breaking it up with ivory lacquer finishers.
I think I will probably just go for the safer combo of ivory seats and grand black lacquer though.
Appreciate the advice. 2010 D4 HSE

I was undecided, and collected my almond interior yesterday if the ivory was like on RR then I would have definately chosen it, but on Discovery it is just the seats. I was concerned it looked like t white blobs in a black interior

Ivory all the way BUT just like the cream sofa we have.... expect to go through a lot of decent leather cleaner if you like to wear jeans, especially Levis!?

after doing a lot of looking i have gone with Ivory but stuck with grand black trim as the ivory ones didn't look right.
as for dye transfer check out LTT products they have a protector for leather that is brilliant, one white leather sofa and 2 whippets is testiment to how good it is.
and no the whippets don wear a lot of denim for those about to ask!
mine don't arrive till 19 March so can't show any pics till then!  XC90 T8 R Design Pro
MY14 D4 HSE Lux (sadly gone)
