The trim code for my '01 XK8 is AGD or Oatmeal. Do any of you experts out there know what the code or name is for the contrasting color -- the color of the dashboard, steering wheel, for example? The color is darker than the Oatmeal. I am trying to match it so I can order a Scuff Master dye from Gliptone and cover worn areas on my steering wheel leather.

I ordered the Oatmeal(AGD) dye to re-dye my door armrest. Turned out perfect. I'm sure George will know what the steering wheel colour is.

I have also used their dye on my old Rolls Royce. I highly recommend them.

 

George who? I ordered my dye from Liquidleather.com in the U.K. Someone there named Peter responded to my inquiry. But he didn't know the name of the contrasting color. On another board where I posted this question, a responder said "maybe it's Antelope." Is that a color?

Antelope is a Jaguar colour.

 

Hi, has anyone tried to actually replace the leather on the steering wheel? Would be nice to grip new leather instead of leather with some paint on it.

It's not actually paint, it's a color-matched dye. There are shops that will refurbish your steering with new leather. I Googled it and saw several listed. Problem is, you have to send them the steering wheel. Removing it and reinstalling it requires a good bit of experience. And you are left without your car for weeks while thework is being done. That's why I'm doing a dye-job. A new steering wheel from a Jag dealer will run upwards of $800 plus installation.
