Sat here bored at work i have just found 6 matching grey full leather hides...

Thats more than enough to fully retrim my seats, doorcards, dash top and bottom...in fact everything.

I was just wondering how good or extremely bad a light grey interior would look in a blue chim with black carpets and grey edging...or maybe dark blue carpet and grey edging?

What do you guys think....?

I have ceramic blue car, light portland grey leather and dark navy carpet with grey pipping.

I like it, although i am having carpets retrimmed in a couple of weeks and did toy with the idea of a dark charcoal grey carpets instead, but opted in the end with Midnight blue, you have now got me thinking again!!!!!!!!

Personally, I think it'd look extremely good.

Might want to consider a darker colour for the dashtop, I notice a bit of reflection on the Cerbera with Portland.

yes

some rolls of Portland and also Magnolia should bring down the cost of both my re-trims significantly hehe

thanks for the pictures guys...think my mind is made up...i was not sure what the grey would loook like on the carpets but it seems to work.

I think i might go for dark blue carpets as well and just edge them in grey....

Like i say if i dont like it then i can always retrim it again later....its not costing me anything
