One other thing to add is that I thought the black interior with the Pano roof felt very different and much less "dark" in daylight to the black without Pano.

I went the black as I got the pan roof. I have had light colour interiors before, and found as long as the carpets were dark it was fairly easy to keep clean.
In Australia the light colour attracts less heat (you can almost get burnt on black leather left in the sun for long enough) but having said that I like the look of the black against Fiji white

I think you have your answer there. I think practicality will have to win in the end unless you are prepared to do a lot of valeting
My girls are 16 & 19 so have gone for ambience but if they had been 6&3 I would definitley go for the dark leather.
I think the vibe interior will look great with OG especially as you have specced the pano roof which will let more light in.
Whatever your choice its going to look great anyway.
Yeah, I think you are right ... I used to pamper my lovely cars inside and out each week and could easily keep a light interior looking showroom standard....Nowadays ... well let's put it this way I haven't hand cleaned any car personally since my 4 year old was born.... time is not a luxury I have anymore
could be a practicality 1 heart/desires 0 result

Yes, it does make a huge difference, especially with the ivory headlining

My local dealer has one and you are right it doesn't look quite right (to my eyes). I think if your car is being built in December I would go for the Element interior with Cirrus headlining - if you were going for a light interior with OG.
Anybody got pictures of element or know any dealers with one to see?

Cool greys, black headlining and exposed metal are 'kool' these days. Just my opinion of course, but black is boring, and beige is 'old man in a jag'.

Have a look at this video - Danish I think… but really good footage of Element interior with pan roof and ebony headlining (also coupe so gt to see two backseats). I went for element after seeing this.

My dealer had a Buckingham Blue with Element ..... but it was a customer car so I assume it’s gone by now.
Maybe we should set up a database of what dealer has what demo / showroom car so if we want to see something non standard we know where to look. My local dealer had a Sumatra Black Dynamic with a silver roof and Pursuit interior delivered today as I was passing ..... I'm sure the owner will love it but to me it looked a bit of a dogs breakfast......

Nice... but too bright for me and looks like a cleaning nightmare
... No indigo jeans on those seats!
RE: Interior Colour Decision - THEMACS - 22-09-2011 10:26pm
We have ordered The Vibe/Black interior, but after seeing those pics, I think I will change to this with an Ebony Headliner, it looks good, we do have a 3 year old but think it will be ok, Leather Wipes easy enough!!!
Will a colour like that wear as well a the black, I sometimes think black can show more scuffs up, maybe I am wrong.
RE: Interior Colour Decision - Spiderman - 23-09-2011 01:03am
This colour will be classically perfect THEMACS as you have a 3 yr old use the baby wipes on the leather as these are a trick of the trade...grey is much better than black at hiding scuffs/marks etc...and the nice thing about this interior is that it's two tone, dark and light grey and with the black or aluminium dash strip it is a beautiful combo and I am very much looking forward to seeing my wife's Evoque when it arrives in December...as she has ordered a SD4 5 Door Prestige in Orkney Grey with a Black Panoramic Roof and the Element interior and after trying the 2 suspensions she has opted wisely to include the AD set-up.
Enjoy your toy when it arrives, I am really enjoying mine!
RE: Interior Colour Decision - THEMACS - 23-09-2011 08:07am
Many Thanks Spiderman.
It looks very Pale Grey almost Silvery, is that right??
Hope you are enjoying your Evoque!!
