My favourite is Black leather & an alloy dash. Mind you a dark walnut works with black leather for me too. yes

I personally think your colour car would suit light grey leather seats, dash top, door tops, etc. and blue carpets.
Cheers,

Magnolia or cream if keeping it clean isn't a problem. I've always quite fancied a purple interior (TVR Purple).

Put em on ebay, Grifters will buy anything they can wear with a TVR logo.

Can't help thinking they'd end up looking like Freddie Mercury in that video of "I want to break free". You know, the one where he's vacuuming the house in drag. musichehe

Only one I can find of mine, dark wood dash and black leather/carpets. I think it looks great compared to many two tone dahsboards and two tone leather/carpet combo's. Always think they look better with a simple colour combination IMO.

Hi Simon. What a coincidence! I'm redoing mine too. Keeping most of the cream upholstery but replacing the lower dash with carbon fibre, centre part of the central console with carbon fibre and door cards with carbon fibre. Going for black carpets, or maybe grey/charcoal. Am also changing the seats. After spending too bloody long trying to work out what seats will fit i have decided to use lotus seats and modify the shoulder which may foul on the hood pivot. Just cant decide whether to go black, cream or black and cream with the seats...

Really excited about the project. Spent far too much time working last year!

Could go through ideas over a pint.. drop me a line.

Jon.

I'm in the dark/black camp as well (chimaera has black hide, yellow clocks and I had a beautiful carbon dash made by Tim at ACT) a few months ago was looking for a cerbera and I had the devils own job trying to find one with a dark or black trim, they al seem to be cream (just too poncey for me)

I also have starmist with bicuit hide but as well as not likeing the colour i hate the seats, they look so dated like big old arm cheer's and from out side the car looking in there very visable being bicuit, black would hide the shape but i like the idea of different seats a more modern alternative would be nice shame the tamora seats dont bolt stright in because for me i do like them.
