I need to identify the colour of my steering wheel which needs recolouring.

The main trim colour is ivory and the second colour could be called beige but it's not listed on the door post label.

I'm wondering if there are accessible records anywhere or should I just find a colour chart?

Also does anyone know if there were wood options as the dash is darker than the standard burr walnut?

Thanks lots in advance.

 

The Steering Wheel / Airbag colours available for your MY are:



The only alternative wood option I can recall available for the early XK8 in the UK was Gray Stained Birds Eye Maple.

I think it must be coffee then.

A place I found on the net that seems to specialise in recolouring leather is Furniture Clinic, but they haven't got coffee on their colour charts.

I'm not so sure about the grey stained birds eye maple dash though, I've done a search for that colour and my dash is certainly darker than what popped up. It doesn't really matter about that though, it was just that I bought a burr walnut gear knob to replace the horrible pale standard one and it was also far too light.

Does anyone know anywhere else to try for leather colouring? Obviously a good reputation would be a bonus.

Thanks again Graham, you're a star.

 

Bill,

I expect you want to stick with a UK supplier if possible?

If Furniture Clinic can't do a match for you, try Gliptone in West Yorkshire:

Scuffmaster | Leather Colours | Leather Dyes

I've used their Scuffmaster kit with excellent results. They list Coffee in their Jaguar range:
