Show me your Chim interior porn!

[Johnniem]

Have made the decision to get the full interior refurb done and was looking for inspiration on colour and design combo's. DC Trim will be doing the work and have said that I can have what I want from almost any colour. I am opting for dark blue and cream but since DC Trim don't have a website yet there is nothing I can do until I get to Blackpool. It would be great if any of you chaps could post pics of your P & J to give me ideas on the dark blue colour combo and perhaps different colour panelling in the seats etc?

Huge thanks for any suggestions....

Mine is dark blue on light grey. The only thing I would go for are the dark bolsters/arm rests and dark handbrake/gear knob gaitors.
I know DC are very highly regarded, but just make sure you get the woolen carpets that dont fade after a few years (although that statement does assume the sun will be shining on them which is a big IF!).

This was my old Chim, dark blue with magnolia.

I know these aren't in the colours you asked for however this is D & C Trim work so it partly fits your criteria.

My Chims interior was done at D&C trim and they did a fantastic job.

Yes you've guessed it , I still can't upload multiple pics

Mine was a complete retrim, carpets, doorcards, headlining ,steering wheels, the lot

Thanks for the responses guys. Some serious interior porn there! Plenty of ideas to mull over although I am still undecided about the lighter colour. Magnolia or pale grey? Rather liking the grey myself but I may just have to wait until I get to see the colour swatches.

Orrabest!

What sort of costs are you looking at for a full retrim (seats/carpets etc?)

I'll give Chris and Dave a ring tomorrow and confirm.

Sorry chaps but D and C don't charge anything near £6k. You need to call them again

well, I'll be delighted to be corrected.

Approaching the end of my , ahem, notorious project I've spoken to S&D, pleasantly surprised with their £3k'ish estimate for a proper full prep and repaint.

Immediately afterwards spoke to D&C who advised they've had to go VAT Reg'd, which took their premium service, carpets, toproll, centre tunnel, doorcards, sunvisors etc etc to £6k.
