I'm planning on doing a colour change and interior retrim on my cerb. Its currently Candy Apple Red with tan/red interior and the interior is starting to show it's age. My issue is what colour/interior combo to go for. Dont like Black, but quite keen on purples, blues lilacs. also love tuscans in lambo orange but not sure if it works on Cerbs.
So what is your fav colour combination?

Paint looks alright, just retrim in black with red stitching or as I have not yet seen one I think Jag Racing green with black leather and green stitching would look cool on a Cerb.

TBH, I had never seen a red Cerb that I liked until I saw yours. The candy looks great IMHO.

Perhaps a charcoal and grey interior - with some alcantara - would tone it down and add a bit of menace?

Keep it Candy!! Fantastic colour. Interior wise; black with red stitching sounds good - search for gcpeters thread for inspiration.

If I got around to rebuilding one, I'd have it black with an unbroken claret red interior. I'd have to try red wheels to match the interior too. Possibly a thick red stripe, front to back. Possibly not.

However, 2nd favourite is an exciting red paintjob with a tan leather interior. I've not seen a red I like as much as yours in those pics. Your interior is almost perfect. I'd have a bit darker, that's all. Like the leather in older Ferraris. Yours looks absolutel class..!!

For me the Cerb needs a light interior, just my preference.

Chewitt almost got it right, what he meant to say was Rolex Blue with Portland/purple (lilac) interior.

If only I had a Cerbera to post up...

Mine would be Atlantis Halycon with Portland Grey and Prussian Blue.

Mine is Moonraker Black with Portland Grey & Black Interior. Carpets are Black trimmed in Portland Grey too. Headlining is Black Alcantara.

Toying with the idea of having some extra bits trimmed in black to match the door card surrounds, handbrake and gearstick gaitors, steering wheel, dash top and instrument pod. Was thinking along the lines of centre console armrest insert, seat squabs and seat panels your back rests on (both front and rear seats). Just a thought at the moment though.

Regards
Simon

Anyone got a pic of one in Atlantis Halcyon? (I#m starting to think I might just change the interior to maybe Black/red)
