This doesn't help. I'm still in doubt whether to go for Santorini Black or Corris Grey with Santorini Black Roof. This looks so great

Why not? Perfect vehicle for it! Why else would you have a tow bar? You're not a tin snail dragger are you?

Fair enough - I can see how hoof prints in nice fresh paintwork might be a tad annoying...

Ours loads reasonably nicely (unlike the last one which was very close to being made in to glue on a number of occasions!) but he has a degenerative lameness issue (ringbone) so doesn't get to go out very often. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

New car looks absolutely fantastic Leon, dark colours definitely suit the shape IMHO

Like Baco I'm undecided between santorini and corris with black roof, both look

Daft question but yours is santorini right? Stu

I like the cabin mood lighting! so I am now going to see my mate to see if he can fit some after market LED's to my 2007 TDV8  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

Stu,

Yup it's Santorini, all pics were taken on very dark days..

It is definitely a deep rich metallic black - I had Sumatra before which I wasn't that keen on.. 2017 MY - Dynamic, same again!

Online configurator is useless for colours, need to see them in the flesh and ideally all together to compare

What do you think of the Dynamic option?. Test drove one with dynamic mode switched on and off and didn't really notice that much difference despite 'pressing on' in the twisties. Seriously impressive to drive though and a massive leap from my 07 V6. Not sure if the extra £5k for the Dynamic is worth it or go HSE with off road option. Stu

hey, someone help me !
ive got a new autobiography with modd lighting, bit the only thing that changes colour is the centre middle console, no door pockets or any other "mood lights" change ! is this right or is it just the 2 tiny mood lights under the centre console lid !
I had the mood lighting in my ffrr new model and this had lots more changing lights than this one !
anyone shed any light on it !!
cheers

On my wife's Evoque all the LEDs change colour and expecting my new Sport to do the same. Be surprised if its only the centre ones. No doubt someone with the mood lighting will be along soon to confirm . On order Corris Grey New HSE 5+2 with Santorini contrast roof , ebony/cirrus interior and panoramic roof.

Come on AdamRRS.... Leon....
Put us outta our misery.....
Whats the score on the LED mood lighting..

Is it more than just the centre console.. or has Nick got a fault....
Interestingly enough.... my french spec sheet for my order had this in it (AB additional ambient lighting )which concerned me and I was going t call the dealer Monday

Sorry been out all day - mood lighting is only on my centre console..

For me the dynamic is worth it - I had an HSE on order and changed at last minute to Dynamic as I felt I wouldn't have been entirely happy spending all that cash and not having the best model I could..

I am glad I did but for no other reason than its a 'better' model - purely superficial.

That said I do use the dynamic a lot and the setting provides noticeable differences, revs higher, tightens up suspension etc.. I took my £1200 22" wheels off and changed to dynamic so in reality the change was £3800 difference for me...

I will get some more interior pics up as soon as I get time  2017 MY - Dynamic, same again!

Thanks Leon..... sorry for being impatient... hope you had a nice day out.....

Taken off the online brochure... If this isn't poetic licence... or downright misrepresentation... for two little LED's then I don't know what is.....

New levels of ambient refinement and personalisation have been reached with
the option of customer configurable lighting. Using a combination of coloured
LeDs, this feature allows occupants to vary the shade, changing the ambience
of the cabin to suit their mood. There are ten colours in total to suit every taste
and mood, ranging from Spark Blue through to Ice White and Racing Red.

and to think I was not going to bother with an Xmas tree of the back off the back of those LED's ....  2014.5 SDV6 AB Dynamic ... Fuji /Santorini Pan roof and 22's

I've just been out again and had a good look around the car and the settings, also got the manual out - nothing definitive in writing but I'm pretty us re it's only meant to be the centre console, although a few in the back may have also been a bit of fun.. 2017 MY - Dynamic, same again!
