Almond interior with "Nutmeg" vs. Arabica - pics?
Well, wifey wants Stornway with almond! (I am worried about it looking grubby in time - but in fairness kids are older now - so less "messy" - and she has ran a Black with Ebony for several years now - and it is a bit "gloomy" in there!...plus I must admit the Stornway does look good with the Almond!)
Now it seems there are two choices with "almond" - you can get it with "Nutmeg" or "Arabica" the latter being the darker colour from what I understand??
So where can we see these combos? The dealer ? Nope! (they didnt even have a D4 in the showroom) - The Brochure ? Nope - none of the Crapstone dealers near us have any D4 brochures! (amateurs!) - The Land Rover web site? Nope! (I despair - not even a D4 confrigurator on there!)
So if anyone has any pics of the almond/nutmeg versus the almond/arabica interiors then I'd really appreciate you posting them up!!
thanks in advance!

Call Shukers in Ludlow (Shropshire).
They have brochures (was given one on friday) as well as a demo Black HS with Almond interior.
Personally I don't like light interiors (dash wise) but it did look very upmarket and I don't think it will mark too easily. Certainly won't show minor scuffs as much as a darker interior.
Great thanks - it's also on-line! ...but I need to put the order in tomorrow and even the brochure doesnt have any comparative interior pics (as opposed to "swathces")

Colours and combinations were in the early release info.
Almond / Nutmeg has nutmeg carpets, lower door trim, dash (facia) and door top trim.
Almond / Arabica has nutmeg carpets, lower door trim, door tops if not leather seats but arabica door tops if leather seats, arabica dash (facia).
In Oz we don't get the Almond / nutmeg option, only Almond / arabica, which is good as that's what I wanted.

This thread seems to have pictures of the nutmeg trim:

Have to disagree Graeme, Martin is right with his pictures, the only difference is the door tops and dash top; seats, carpets & everything else is the same.
IMHO it really depends on what exterior colour you go for, as you see off the bonnet onto the dash and up the doors onto the door tops; and personnal preference.
There is not a vast amount of difference.
With Stornoway would personnally go for Nutmeg.
Would definitely pick Arabica with Nara, Galway, Bornville, Ipenema.

I'm thinking Arabica is the better option with black paint (then I would, given that's what I've ordered) - what matters though now is what dealmaker decided on

my 2 pence worth. sorry,
seeing as though "dealmaker" is from oop north, the photo's that martin posted are irrelevant and should be deemed "inadmissible" as evidence due to the fact it is quite obviously "sunny"
we all know that it is never "sunny" oop north and hence those photo's cannot be relied on as a realistic portayal of how "nutmeg" or "almond" may look on his drive..... one wife.......livid

After another look, I agree with you. I thought it was only the angle of the light on the dash but the door top is definitely ligher.
