Looking at changing my daily driver and have always liked the Giulia. So have been looking at a Veloce. My ideal spec is Misano blue or the Monza red. But, where it gets difficult for me, is that it must be the tan leather interior and non privacy glass, which is only the early cars.

You can’t change the rear privacy glass so that swap is out. But has anyone done a full interior swap?

In which case I can also look at a black interior car and do a full swap to tan, which widens the field greatly. Thoughts?

I'd had the same thoughts, having a comp. red Q with tomato red inserts.. (???) so I'd much rather have the tan/beige interior inserts (doors, IP). But those cars have green/white stiching, not red.
In my case it quickly got too complicated or difficult and, I'd ruin the car's value so I opted out of it. You CAN repaint/recolor inserts ets but certain creases etc are very hard to get to and I only got as far as ordering the paint. It'll stay red.

But I concluded for the doors: straight swap, but there are many variants of stitching, leather/non-leather etc. The inserts are plastic welded and are nigh on impossible to swap individually IMO.
IP: same thing here.
Seats: easy straight swaps.
Windows. also easy-ish swap, at least doors. Rear window is a job for the glass-shop.
