I take it those aren't the same color?
Mine's a 1999 75, which is it likely to be?
I ask because I need to get a new bonnet for my car, don't want it to look like something off the inbetweeners

No,totally different.Yours is Cowley JEL.Look on the passenger door pillar at the bottom & you'll see a plate,on which is your paint code.

Yours will be JEL. You can check for yourself by looking inside the front passenger door where the plate containing the paint and trim codes is located.

I think Sandstone is best. It took me ages to find my car because I wanted either Black or Firefrost paint and Sandstone leather. There were loads more cars with black leather than Sandstone and it was a real hunt to find a good car with the right paint/trim combo. Black is so boring and cold looking. Sandstone or indeed the Neptune look much classier and have more character. By the way, unless you have children in the back eating Freddos and drinking Cola in a care free manner, the Sandstone leather is not the least bit difficult to keep clean. Mine causes me no problems whatsoever.

No kids for the near future, however I'm 18 and as a consequence so are my mates (who will want to ride in it) I fear they might actually be slightly messier than the average child

I suppose you're right about the black leather being boring though, I suppose I'll go with whatever comes up first!

Tell me about it, I gave some mates a lift back from town a while ago, both had had a few pints of wallop, they wanted kebabs on the way home. I cringed and allowed mateship to override my love for the 75. Chilli sauce all over the rear seatbelt and seat. I was secretly livid! But it washed off no probs :-)

In fact leather is remarkably resistant to dirt and stains, that's the beauty of it, just wipe clean.

That's one the reasons I want to get leathers, apart from looking much classier, they'll be easier to clean (whatever color) than the cloth interior.

The leather in the 75 is coated which should make them easier to look after.

Never mind mates, think ladies......

Black leather gets the ladies..... Cream leather gets you the grannies

Ive saw a lot of wedgies with ash grey interiors and it suits the car perfectly.
