More specification tinkering by LR?

I have just been looking at the latest dealer pricing and ordering guide (number eight) and it now says that from Feb 12 production the headlining will now be available in 3 colours:

032CV - Ivory (standard for Pure/Prestige and not available on Dynamic)
032EW - Cirrus (standard for Dynamic and NCO for Cirrus/Lunar combo on Pure & Prestige)
032BU - Ebony (standard for Dynamic Plus and option on Ebony and Cirrus Pure/Prestige and all Dynamics).

On Dynamic Plus models, Satin Brushed Aluminium/ Gloss Black Strata (088GQ) is now the standard with Testured Aluminium (088GR) the NCO. Minor points but you have to ask yourself why?

I also see that the black grille/side fender/rear spoiler bits on the Dynamic and now Narvic Black. I thought that they were originally Santorini (was this because of the Japan paint issues?) as this matched the contrst roof (which is still Santorini)

Thanks, Interesting - is this Dealer price and ordering guide available on-line - or do you need to have access to a dealer system for this?

Straydox,

I have PM'd you!

Does anyone know what the difference is between Ivory and Cirrus?
I'm guessing there can't be a massive difference.

Cirrus is a light grey.

Bit annoying actually as the Pursuit interior for the Dynamic is a mixture of Ivory (cream) and Lunar Grey (a dark grey), and I would have thought the Ivory headlining would go much better with that than the Cirrus which it looks like it will now come with?

Thanks very much for this information! I have just joined this site, and this was one of the first things I spotted. I have an Orkney Grey Prestige on order with Element interior (which is basically cirrus), but with the originally available ivory headlining.

I have a build date of 24 February, and have just been able to change my order to cirrus, thanks to your post. (The dealer knew nothing about this new option, and seemed quite surprised when he was able to make the change to my order).

The TOPx lists my Dynamic as having PIANO BLACK APPLIQUES (whatever it means). I hope this is not the Gloss Black Strata as 'me not liking it' (we actually still do not have that option in US version of the car). My interior choice was Lunar perforated grained leather with ivory contrast stitching and I'd hate to get anything but the brushed aluminum with it. Fingers crossed. Car should be in in a matter of days.

I was told about this in September at a driving day - that's why I delayed my order for Mauritius and element/cirrus interior - thought the cirrus headlining would go so much better
