Hi
I am ordering a Stornoway Grey GS with privacy glass and can't decide whether to have Ebony or Storm leather interior. I've seen Ebony, but haven't been able to see Storm, other than a swatch. Has anyone seen the Stornoway/Storm combo or have a decent interior photo they could post? Sliver or black facia will be my next decision. Thanks.

not too sure about seat colour but i was going for the piano black trim on my new FL2 and whilst it looks nice on the steering wheel i didnt like it above the glovebox - made the interior appear very dark! I therefore went for silver which breaks it up nicely! Now - 2017 BMW X3 M Sport Carbon Black
Gone - 2014 BMW X3 M Sport Space Grey, faultless!
Gone - 2011 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Bali Blue with xenons
Gone - 2008 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Rimini Red with bodykit

I have an HSE Sport LTD, which has the combination of ebony and storm. IMHO, the storm looks cheap. I do like the idea of breaking up the interior color, but if given the chance, would pick another color to use.

Although I haven't had my vehicle long enough to experience the summer sun, I'm not looking forward to blazing hot seat areas in ebony.

I have Stornoway with Ebony and would choose Ebony again. Also agree with Mark12 about the grey/grey combo.

However I like the new Tan Pleather colour, but not with Stornoway but would look smart with Black paintwork  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

ebony black for sure for lazy guy like me to maintain the seats. I m on heavy tinted film, so with this combination is better to change the interior bulbs to bright LED white. But careful when you change the bulb, I end up went back to dealer for the fuse blown.

I went for the black trim but not the piano black. It looks super IMO, vaguely like carbon fibre. I thought that the siney piano black might be too much. The other option I considered was silver... anything other than the standard tacky-looking wood (sorry if you like it but I think it just reminds me of 1970's Rovers! Not a good memory for me!)

Thanks for all the messages. I'm going for Ebony. Now for a long wait

did you go for black or silver trim?

The long wait - know how you feel, mine was ordered back in November but on the plus side it arrives it just over a weeks time

Will post some pics of my ebony / silver combination Now - 2017 BMW X3 M Sport Carbon Black

They say it is REAL wood and not just "plood" used in the Evoque, but surely nobody realy likes that on a modern vehicle  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

I have Storm Grey in mine & it contrasts very well with the black carpet & the rest of the black dash. Two tone looks so much nicer than all one colour which I think looks too bland. (Past) Freelander 2 HSE 2010 MY In Rimini Red.
