The two tone leather reminds me of MGs from 2000 onwards. Looks nice when brand new but dates and tires as time goes on. My choice is definitely your 4th option.... Classy and subtle enough but will never date.

Don't like to throw a spanner in the works but.... I think a person might get tired of the red a year down the line, though I think the white is stunning ,I also think there will be a lot of them on the road, I think the silver looks good and shows off the lines of the car beautifully,I have a black evoque coming next month, I tried to change to silver but it was to late. They all look great anyway. Good luck making your decision .

Si 4 Sumatra black....delayed..replaced with Dynamic Fuji white...arrived today!

RE: A Little Colour Help Before I Sign Final Order Please.

Firenze red looks rather spiffy but I prefer a plainer interior - rather than red exterior and red two tone interior. My issue with the two tone seats is that when I look at them I see too many pieces of leather sewn together. Too many seams, like a cheaper leather jacket!
But take my views with a grain of salt because I'm a "Colima lime with a white contrast roof" kinda gal but am going for classic Fuji white because I can get my hands on one much, much sooner! Smile

Good point, Evoqess, the larger the area of uninterrupted leather (by seams), the more expensive it becomes because of the defects on the original hide. With smaller pieces of leather, you can get more effective total area from a hide.

Thinking about it, I don't think you should mix Firenze and Pimento.

Evoque was great, now in an RRS SVR

My opinion is Firenze Red is by far the nicest colour I'm sick too death of seeing white, every other car is white. just make sure you get the silver roof looks fantastic.

2 tone interior with the red inserts looks really nice, don't get the black head liner it makes the car too dark inside.

so red with the silver roof, verve interior and ivory headliner and you sir will have a very good looking car.

thats only MY opinion BTW. Smile

Don't think I've seen that colour combo .... I've only seen Red with a Black roof (my favourite) & Red with a White roof.

That's like the factory launch spec cars.

Strangely as much as I really want Firenze Red I am seriously thinking of going Fuji White simply as I have a lot of reds & I am wanting something different but just can't decide!!

Green for me, either Galway Green or Aintree Green. As my signature says, ordered in Galway but lease co say it might (or might not be) Aintree instead. The only other colours I considered was either the red - looks fine, or the black - quite menacing.

White is a no no for me. Lots of country road driving for me. It'd get manky in no time and be a pain in the backside to keep looking clean.

ED4 2wd, with tech pack, ordered in Galway Green, but told might be Aintree Green. Due mid April 2012.
