Did all my Posts last year. A,B,C & D all in Light Grey Leather, takes a bit of doing & it aint easy, but it's worth the work.

I'd do them in grey suede or leather. I think they look best when they match the colour of the seats.

i used Flash with Bleach... works a treat and foamy so not too wet...

having said that parts of mine sag a little.. not too noticable at the mo.. thinking about a re-trim in the summer.. maybe with Alcantera.. ( planning to do the Pillars in black 1st and see how it looks... i'm thinking maybe stealth interior and doing the roof in it too...

Theres a good how too by dopey at the top of the main rangerover page also with chopper007 Permission i could repost some pics he sent me of them in black
At the moment mine are striped back to the plastic whilst i decide what to do with them! the glue easyley washes off with solvent to soften it and then washing up liquid and a pan scrubber

Slightly off topic but related to the colour.
My RR has a black dash, grey lower dash, grey door cards and grey leather seats.
Steering wheel is black also.
bit of a mix is this normal do we think? its a 97 HSE
I am thinking white, cream or light grey for the pillars.

not sure if that's normal.. but least it gives you options now !!

happy with my Black Alcantera type fabric as posted by Gfromleeds ( cheers mate).. and would work well for you as the shading kind of means it's not solid black..
