Fuji White & Ambiance or Vibe? Just not Spirit...

My white Dynamic arrives on Tuesday so I guess I am biased and everyone has their own view on colours.

I love the interiors of the Prestige but had to have the experior of the Dynamic - as soon as I saw a Dynamic with Pursuit interior I knew I had made the right choice for me.

With the Prestige I have to say I love the tan and I think it looks great with the White, I have seen it in the flesh and it was also the car they had on the Top Gear shoot and it looked great. For me the black leathers just dont do justice to the interior of the car. My dealer loaned me an Evoque for a few weeks and it had a black interior, for me it was just to dark and not enough contrast. For me with the Prestige I would go for any of Spirit, Ambiance or Element, all look great, just be prepared to protect the leather and clean a bit more often. Everyone likes different things tho, just my thoughts

I had exactly the same dilemma, i.e. I wanted the Fuji white but I also wanted a light interior. In the end I went for the Element interior as I felt the Ambiance leather was too 'creamy' and the brown dash topper and door inserts etc. didn't really go well with the white.
I still had my doubts about the Element interior, but after having seen it in the flesh, it does look very good and certainly doesn't look out of place against the white.

Hmmm, interesting. How 'grey' does it look? Is it just off white or definitely a light grey colour? And what headlining did you go for?

White interior has more roomier feel, black - the opposite, claustrophobic. My other car is all white and I love it. Cleaning and maintaining with two kids is somewhat cumbersome, but nothing like the looks and fresh feel of it. [/u]

Element would be my choice (but the I am biased, having had mine with Element for 5 weeks now). Seriously though, I went Element on my Prestige purely because of the Espresso dash topper (and if you are going coupé, the bucket seats are also 'embedded' in the Espresso leather).

It's a VERY subtle grey, just off white - I posted some pics on other threads and is quite a special place to be when you are in the car. My exterior is OG but I'd be very happy with this interior in a Fuji white car.

I've also got element on my prestige and still love it. The grey dash topper is lovely and looks stunning with white exterior.

I think the Ambience is stunning. Pity you can't have it in a Dynamic.

I have chopped and changed between Element and Vibe on an OG Prestige. I thought I was decided on the element as I liked the pale look of the leather,But.... There was something that i didn't like but wasn't sure what! I eventually realised that it was the light top part of the doors, it just didn't sit right with me, I would have preferred them dark, all personal preference! Berlin has some fantastic pictures of the element interior and his does look lovely Personally don't like the Cream interiors, bit old man for me if I was you i would go with Vibe or Element. Probably best keep the ivory headliner if you go Vibe, makes a big difference, and personally I think the Vibe looks Special very classy

It's very light, but not what I would call off white. To me though it's in the same colour palette as the Fuji white (if that makes sense) rather than the cream of the Ambience.
I stuck with the ivory headlining as I thought the black would be too dark (even though I have the pano roof). If I was ordering now though, I believe it's possible to spec the cirrus headlining to match the leather, so that's what I would have went for.

Am really considering this now. I've found some great pics on a website. Its just so hard to tell without seeing it for real! I would have to have the cirrus headlining to match I think. Is it definitely available now? Doesnt seem so from the online configurator.

I'm just a little worried the Element interior will look a little cold. Would some one seeing it for the first time in the daylight describe it as grey you think or just 'light'? The reason I ask is that I've seen some 'grey' interiors before and think they look a little clinical and odd.
