Posted this elsewhere but as I need to finalise things tomorrow thought it might be better to make a new thread...

Going to see dealer tomorrow to go over final spec...happy enough with Buckingham blue but quite fancy going for the tan leather rather than ivory which i think will be a nightmare to keep clean. Only problem i forsee with this option is that the topper is in tan also and cannot be specced any other way ie, black so am a bit worried that there could be a problem with sunshine reflection off the windscreen as it is quite a bright colour. Anyone know if does cause a problem...better to know now before its too late

never thought about reflection on top realy. Last MY06 had i think a "sand" leather interior, which looked great, but a b*****r to clean, so gone for black on new MY10, feels better, looks better purple people eater

I have had ivory in the past - bummer to keep clean, and shows its age really fast.. Keep it darker mate.. 57 RRS | TDV8 HSE | Java Black | Black Interior | Side Steps | 20" Alloys

Gone my10 3.0 tdv6 Bali blue/ivory 5 years 24k no problems great car will be missed

have always liked the brightness of the lighter colours, and they do make a car look really posh, which is why i had it in my dream combo with the Rimini Red, but always very quickly got grubby and still remeber the aching elbows from rubbing it clean, agree that it does look good though purple people eater
