Default How hard to swap interiors?

I have an XJL with a gorgeous cashew interior and I want an XJL-R but he R has a more sport black interior with red seats and red stitching.
I want the XJL-R with the cashew interior and will sell my XJL V8 with the R interior. How hard is the swap to do including dash and center console and carpet (will not mess with the headliner).

Do you mean XJR or XJ-R sport? JLR kind of confusingly called them almost the same name. Much different cars.
But either way it's a big job. Can you DIY the swap?

Not too bad
just time consuming.

Hardest part would be the dash

I switched the leather on the front seats in a 2015 Portfolio to the diamond stitched seats from a 2016 not super hard if your patient the plastic backing on the 15 had to be changed as well from the 2016 ,rear seats fit with just changing the wire harness that's imbedded in the rear
