for ages now i've been planning a new interior and i've gone through soo many choices as to what colour to do it.
so i thought i'd ask you lot what your thoughts are. i was going to do it all one colour and had bought that nice, dark red leather used in audi's etc but its been done on a few feature cars now, plus with all the blue samco hoses, blue brakes, blue suspension i thought it might look weird with a red interior. so then i decided it should be blue but can't find a blue i like that would work all over. (i plan on doing the headlining and everything) so have probably settled on a two tone with either black or a dark charcoal and one of the following....
other options include doing alcantara centres etc, which is a synthetic suede used on cars alot. and i'm leaning towards the black/tan with tan alcantara as i'm thinking it'd look good on the headlining.
any other colours etc let me know!

Tan tan tan.........yo ass ponk!!
The black leather with the tan alcantara centres would look good, you could also alcantara the centres of the headrests with leather sides....perhaps.
:tongue:
-
Maybe a c@*t to keep clean, but silver looks so much smarter
-
I think the last picture looks the best, white/silver?
-
hey joe the silver/black mate goes with all the bling :D but its a hard call the silver and the blue both look great :D
are you doing them yourself??
-
pink pink pink.... :kiss:
-
yeah the silver looks :cool:
do it do it do it!!
:wink:
-
I think black/blue will lok smart, especially if you've got the blue accents else where :smiley:
-
i gotta say the black n blue..seems funkier than just the the black n silver..and will go with the hoses :wink:
Dinx :kiss:
-
thought you said hoes for a second
-
id personally think the black n white would look good jo,
-
wanna be careful though, you sure you know what your doing with retrimming, i got some bloke to do mine, did a right dodgy job lol :laugh: :laugh:
-
id go with black & blue joe :cool:
-
in my humble opinion i think the black blue looks a little max power seat cover style. I prefer the black/silver with the chromey bits on ur motor i think itl look smart. Also saw a few mk2's at e38 with black and tan interiors. One with an audi tt dash i seem to remember. They did look good but there were at least 2 of them there alone.
theefore the short answer is black and silver
-
hmmm see its tricky. the blue was my first thought but its my least favourite, the silver would be cool but i'm not sure i want a silver headlining as i like the darkness of the gti interior. plus it could get dirty easily.... hmmm
by the way the silver and tan would be alcantara....
-
black / blue tis the future :cool:
-
black and blue, for sure. but you are right, you are going to have to get the colour of the blue spot on. I think maybe a little darker than in your pshop.
:smiley:
-
dont you think the blue looks a little max power though.
the tan is quite cool and will give the car a totaly differerent look, a bit more posh i think.. the silver just looks hardcore and you cant go wrong with silver...
but surry guys i think myself the blue is a no no
dare to be different
-
was only joking about my seat jo!! you did a brill job really!! as good as new! :grin:
-

yeah i knew you were only kidding, glad your happy mate. cheers for all the opinions guys, keep 'em coming!
-
my last car *cough 206 had black leather with greyy/silvery alacantra middles and it wasnt that bad so keep clean. Looked stunning too! I dont dislike the tan middles but im just not sure if it would work with your car. Im never one to mind being proven wrong tho.
-
Blue/black gets my vote :wink:
-
oh well that settles it then :rolleyes:
-
sod all this black and ....... stuff, go for a completely tan colour. Or be really daring and go for a completely different colour like a dark emerald green or something and have the windows tinted down a bit more
-
well i wanted all tan but wasn't sure. green wouldn't work in my car
-

see i think that looks amazing
i think i've just changed my mind again!!
-
black and bling :wink:
-
ha ha cheers for that vaughn!
-
See thats the type of thing i was thinking about, but then again a lot of people are all doing the same, and i didn't know if you wanted to follow the crowd, there are some really nice deep reds around, couple of really dark purples, there is also the white option if you are feeling really daring but then it would be a show only interior with seat covers on for the rest of the year.
-
well i wanted tan at first but like you say alot of people are doing it
i have also thought of the dark red and i even bought the leather for it but changed my mind after going to inters and seeing about 6 cars looking similar to mine with red leather, plus it would look funny with the blue samco's... its doing my head in though, i want them done!!!

Oooh yeah i prefer this..........
or like han says go pink....... remember it takes a man to wear pink  :grin: :wink:
-

i do know where i can get metallic leather and flip vinyls......
-
will put a few up tonight, but at the moment it seems like you are limiting yourself.
I.E. black and blue, all black or all blue.
White goes with pretty much anything but you would need to be really careful of it. Would also give a good contrast to the black.  :cool:
-
white would be a no no for me, i like fresh jeans and would put blue ass prints on it!! plus i'd look like a euro tosser!!
-
what about grey?
-
have also thought about that, black with grey perforated centres would look good.
i do want something that'll get noticed at shows and all black or dark can be a bit boring!!
-
if you went white..sure you can get the white samaco hoses.. :tongue:
Dinx :kiss:
-
think max power pics i sent ya.....
-
i'm more thinking of how it will look at shows. ultimately i want to do trimming for a living so want something that will get noticed. know what i mean? :P but at the same time i want to be happy with it and for it to look nice!
-
Speedo's idea is a good one.

I would have the black/blue personally. The all blue seats look kind of dumb.
-

-
Which is ?
-
it'll be plush and classy......
-
...and orange? :tongue:
come on, tell us!
-
it'll be plush and classy......
black and blue it is then. :grin: :grin:
-
ha ha after ages deciding i've finally found the right leather. i'm keeping it under my hat for now, (just in case it looks crap!) but i've just ordered it and its from alfa romeo's range of leather.... schweet!!
-
Is it that funny redish beige ?
