Storm or Ebony leather with Stornoway Grey?

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

I would personally go with Ebony interior, IMHO the Stornoway/Storm combination would look a little bland.

I initially thought the same as you about the piano blank trim / ebony leather combination but decided to go with it as I thought the silver trim looked a little on the cheap side. I have had my car now for a couple of days and I am glad I went with the piano black, to me it does not make the interior to dark.

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 Neutral but would look smart with Black paintwork Embarassed Whistle 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!)

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 Very Happy

They say it is REAL wood and not just "plood" used in the Evoque, but surely nobody realy likes that on a modern vehicle Question 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.
(Past) RR Evoque Dynamic Lux Si4 In Firenze Red.
(Past) RR Evouque Pure Tech in Barollo Black with bespoke Firenze Red colour coding.
(Present) Freelander Metropolis 2015 MY In Santorini Black with Ivory Premium Leather.
