Well my half leather tan interior is looking a bit scruffy now and full leather trim is on the cards. I am toying with the idea of Black and Ivory, Dark Blue and Portland Grey or Dark Blue and Cream. Exterior colour is Dark Blue.

Any suggestions/photos welcomed.

Hi Andy, I had my Griff completely retrimmed June-July this year. I too was not sure of colours, combinations etc. The trimmer was great and together we determined a scheme and colour that not only I was happy with, but also one that set the car off a treat. The most important part of the decision process was the time taken by the trimmer to cut me samples of leather, alcantara, carpet etc to take away and evaluate. Also, the trimmer, having many years experience with all different kind of car was able to suggest ideas and concepts.

So, my advise to you is; find a good helpfull trimmer, discuss with him and then take away samples of different leather colours, carpet et. Take it from me, only after deliberating at home with combinations etc did I come to a final decision. Also note that my trimmer produced samples of stitching and thread colour for me. Finally; don't use a trimmer that will not let you have samples and advice unless you have placed an order with him (I had that from a prominent trimmer of TVR's), use local friendly easily accessible craftsmen. They do not have to be TVR specific nor 100's of miles away. Regards, Pete
Hi Pete, do you have any interior photos you can post - obviously it needs to match the dashes that you are doing, as I have ordered one. smile
