Land Rover designer Gerry McGovan ( think thats the correct spelling ) told me at the launch of the L322 that the Cherry Wood and other materials used in the cabin, along with their lay out, where chosen to give the vehicle the feel of a luxury yacht interior. .

Yachts have glossy wood and it's real the Range Rover trim is not up to the prices they are when new.

Likewise, I'd love wood trim in mine. Being a HSE I just have black plastic.

2003 Range Rover Vogue 4.4 V8 Adriatic Blue

I painted all my cherry gloss black, thought it looked naff. Tried carbon wrapping it but the dash end vent panels are alloy, got really hot in the sun and the wrap shriveled up. Cheap c#*p from eBay.. I used some 3m carbon I had from years ago on the venue trims and that's been ok for 2 years.
Powerful for the black door trims..

All good
