Not irrelevant, because he wrote:

"It has to be blue and has to be 2005 production date or newer"

greg thats not tan, its the flash from the camera, its actually saddle, (saddle is in our flying spur and doesnt create any noticeable glare)

no no no no, you have it wrong my friend, one of the press cars that we test drove in 2004 was neptune and i remember specifically that when we were at the bentley downers grove dealer they had a silver lake gt (2005) in stock with a hotspur interior and birch wood. so you are wrong on that.

Tan, saddle, call me a pischer!

I am surprised no glare.

A 456 was for sale for over a year due to its tan dash and the comments were that it threw a bad glare for it's light dash!

Maybe the angle of the glass is different in the Spur.

Highly unlikely, but i can look into it, most likely (well, for sure) the gtc has a different angle of glass

It has dawned on me that it's the material and not the angle that causes the glare.

The interior of my 360 is deep navy blue. There is a glare at times in the shield due to its surface.

Non-leather dashes have a slightly raised finish that refracts the light differently than the smoothness of the leather. So glare is not as great a problem.

Now you are hitting below the belt!

Armorall! Isn't that now used in women's underwear?

Actually it's the matzos crumbs collecting below the window.

Viktor,

Our old site has gone off line!
