Hi Guys,

Similar to my last thread I have now decided to go for a Silver TDV8 with a light colour interior - so any comments please on whether the Alpaca is a good colour & less maintenance than the ivory/Less aniemic?

Also is the DSG a must have? (As I'm Coming from a sports car) & What is the 'Clear Pack'?

There are some threads about the DSG 'pipe banging' or is the pack worth the negative of the noise?

Any advice welcome[/b]

Definitely Ivory and get a good sealant on once you've cleaned it

I have Ivory in mine and it's no problem. I wear dark jeans and trousers in it all the time and it looks nice and clean still.

Only problem I forsee is that when the leather starts to wear it will clearly be more easy to see the wear spots as black seats will make the wear less visible. Saying that mine is now 3yrs old and I have had a couple of areas of wear smart repaired and you would never know where they were, and it wasn't a lot of money for the repair 2017 Range Rover Sport Autobiography

I just love mine and didn't like the Alpacca at all just look too OAP'ish whereas the Ivory just looks amazing,high maintenance if you wear new blue jeans but worth it,really lightens the interior up.
This is mine:

Wow Chris that does look excellent!

Thanks for the link too.

Yeah that was the kind of feeback needed - Opinions on the Alpaca - It isnt as 'modern' as the ivory in my book too.

I notice your car is Black - What are your views on Silver/Ivory - Is it a no no in the RRS world? Only asking for re-sale purposes.

Thanks again

I think Silver/Ivory would be fantastic but it is so hard to decide.
When I ordered my last one I wanted Black/Ivory and ended up with Stornaway/Black leather,everytime I saw a black car I wished I had waited so this time was adamant I was having Santorini/Ivory and now every time I see a Stornaway I think wish I'd bought that again.
I love mine to bits and when it's polished it is absolutely superb but that only lasts a day then its filthy again whereas a Stornoway or silver only need washing once a month and still look great.
Other issue with Santorini is that it's a scratch magnet so you would need to budget for a few polishes.
At resale time I think Santorini and Stornaway would be the easiest to sell but wouldn't have thought Silver/Ivory would be an issue either.
This is what it looks like newly washed and polished:

Thanks again Chris,

Yep all of my 911's were silver and always looked great - I've had one black car - A Cayenne Turbo - Great car but too thirsty and always needed a wash as you say.

The Ivory to me just makes the interior 'alive' plus I'm a light adict - I think I'm going to try and do a deal at Guy Salmon on Saturday if not will keep my eye out for another - Even has a sunroof:

If you budget allows and you can be persuaded to change to a black car and you can settle for a 3.0L V6 then this would be a good buy,
