Thread: Thoughts on Scotia Grey

Hi there

Colours are such a personal thing, what one person likes another hates, but I found this on car sales if you're interested. It does have bit of a green tinge of green to it.

I have ordered a MY 2014 in Loire Blue based on what I've seen on a Freelander & a RRS & I still don't know if I've made the right decision, but I sure hope so.

We have one at MLR as a Corp Drive vehicle.
Can drop by & have a look if you wish.

p.s. I do like the colour

Cheers

Thanks Tiddy, I did notice that one and it looks great. Just keen to see one in the flesh before committing.

Fantastic, thanks Sniegy. I'll definitely try and pop in one day over the next weekend or two to check it out.

From reading the brake controller thread, it appears MLR is the place to have them fitted too?

I've decided that Scotia Grey is the way to go but am still undecided on the interior colour.

Whilst Ebony (black) is the 'designer recommended' combination, I reckon Almond would still look ok and I'm a little worried about the heat buildup in an all black interior.

Thoughts? Would Almond in a Scotia vehicle look ok?

I have a black interior in my car but I also have very good 3M window tint and I can leave my car parked out in the hot central Qld sun all day and it's probably maximum 5 degrees hotter, and the leather doesn't get hot really I've found the LR leather one of the only leathers I don't sweat in the seats in.

I've had one car with a light colour interior and it was a bloody pain in the behind to keep clean!!

Yep I agree, Tint is a must & I have black leather interior in my old and new car. They wear well and keep their looks. Light colours are asking for trouble in a 4WD - unless you want to use yours as solely a glorified city shopping trolley !

Hey DiscoFan,

My Disco 4 has the Almond/Nutmeg interior, So it must be a great city shopping trolley just ask Torero22 He knows everything! Once he gets off his high horse & actually has a D4 he might understand everyones needs are different.


Seriously tho' i drive these things everyday, the heat build up in the Black i did not like. The heat difference between the 2 i would gather on a hot day would only be a couple of degrees, But the darker interior just felt hotter because it was Black. Probably just mind games

Tint is the answer. Get a good quality tint & all will be good. I have privacy tint on mine (2 front windows @ 35% & from the B pillar back 80%) this way keeps the vehicle occupants, fridge (for the shopping obviously) & the interior trims cooler.

HTH
