Interior advice
Discussion
I need some input from my esteemed fellow Tuscan owners..
I'm very likely to install some new seats into the car imminently as I just can't get the upper torso support from the standard seats. I'm going to get these trimmed to suit and this seems like a good opportunity to look into interior colours.
The exterior of the car is:
And the interior is currently:
I'm inclined to stick with the Ocean Green sections but not sure the cream still works with the exterior. Originally thought about going for carbon fibre (or carbon fibre look) on the cream areas, plus the panels behind the seats and headlining but I think this may be too dark and the steering wheel inserts could prove tricky! I've also had a steer from the experts up in Blackpool that portland Grey looks good with Ocean Green and we can perhaps look at some diamond patterns as per the sagaris on another post recently. The new seats have gloss black GRP rears so would probably go exterior colour coding on thess.
What are your thoughts guys? Please post ideas, pics etc
This is absolutely the last mod I'm doing to the car. For the moment. Probably.

I'm reflex charcoal too. I've got black leather but the flocked areas are a horrible green colour (kind of works but not for me) and I would love to find a better colour. At the moment I'm inclined to go for a shade of grey which should work ok with the exterior. My suggestion would be the same for you too 
I sincerely think you have a really nice color combo, one that isn't common (1st I see actually) and suits the car well.
I wouldn't change anything if it was my car.
As far as the carbon fiber or carbon fiber look-alike I would vote against it as, to me, the dark green exterior and green/beige interior makes the car look more like a luxurious classy GT then a supercar striped out of gizmos that would have carbon fiber inserts.
Just my opinion I'm no interior designer

I would agree with the colour coding on the rear of the seats, but i would have reservations about going to dark all through the interior. I think the cream works well with the darker colour and would think the car would benifit from remaining with a dark interior with light inserts. I do like the Tuscan that (S9 SIX)not sure if that is his handle, but the gren/blue one with grey and black interior.
This will give him another opportunity to post a picture of it again
Not a lot wrong with the current interior though.

Mine, also Reflex Charcoal, has portland grey with green interior. Haven't any pics to hand, but the main colour of the seats is grey, with green seat cushion and half way up the back if you follow? The only draw back with the light interior is reflection off the dash top onto the screen, so if I redo that's the only bit I would change, no doubt to green
Edited to say, just re-looked (is that a word?) at your seats, mine are the reverse dark/light if you think grey and green

That's very nice.
Are they standard floor mats? Only ask because I ordered some bespoke ones and when they they arrived was a bit annoyed because they sat on top of the pedals like yours do, so assumed they had made them too long. But perhaps this is how they are supposed to be.
I ended up chopping a few cms off the other end so it now doesn't overlap the pedal box.

Many thanks for your comments Jonathan - I have to admit we reckon it is running over 500BHP/ton and the only gizmo is an aftermarket satnav so not sure I can claim it as a luxurious classy GT!
