Go some Dynomix leather and vinyl dye, give the seats a once over and recoloured the transmission tunnel from brown to tan to match the seats. On close inpection it looks recoloured, but I'm happy till I get it recovered properly!

Impressed with Dynomix in case you are considering using em.

Nah…Looks horrible..You should sell me the wedge…. ..That looks very nice mate..Dyes on seats can wear off but it won't notice as yours were nearly that colour anyway..Centre consoles and dashes won't..I must say though I'm not normally a fan of cream unless its on apple pie..…But that contrast between the cream and the brown looks top drawer…Ziga

PS:Meant to say also..Are you going to do anything to the door cards and arm rest..My opinion only but i think break up the dark by either colouring the arm rest and dividing strip or the bottom half of the door card under the dividing strip and the handle….

Cheers Zig, as always pics look better than real life but it's coming together, yeah the doors are gonna be tan leaving the arm rest brown and the door strip in tan.

Recolouring for the time being but then recovered in leather as the end game.
Can't decide wether to change carpets to dark red to match exterior?!

…Dark red might look okay..Even better if you had a half dash..Just the top part in matching dark red..But at the moment it reminds me of a Taimar that i saw at a classic car show that had cream leather with a mid chocolate brown carpet which i think was original colours..Looked stunning…Best bet is if you can grab a few samples and try them against the tunnel cover in the gap that you can see above the drivers seat..Also the gear stick and handbrake gaiters would look cool in chocolate brown, But please be aware that if i ever see you Wedge in the flesh don't let me near it as i love chocolate and cannot resist it…...Chocolate bread..Chocolate chicken stew..Chocolate tea…Chocolate milk…Chocolate eggs on toast..In fact lets cover everything in...." CHOCOLATE"

I had my carpets redone in Red by D&C Trim at Bristol Ave, did a great job

[JVaughan]

My seats were re-trimmed with a blue insert, and piping, so I coloured my door handles to match.
its ok, but the dye does come off sometimes

Nice.. I will fit the carpets myself I think, it's a pricey job isn't it, even just the cost of the carpet.
Every other car give or take a set if carpets are about £150.00
TVR £400.00!! For some reason!

If the carpets are £400 then not as bad you might think. I paid £600 and that included a new door/roof seal at the same time. Also, the footwell carpets on both sides can be removed without disturbing the rest of the carpets so can be easily cleaned/replaced.

If you want to see the finished job let me know, I am very close to you

Cheers, David

[TVRIK]

All very nice guys! I do like to have a go myself at most things, even buying the carpet on the roll,
But, it does seem a bit trickier on a wedge,may save for taylored made, and fit them.
