I love individual interiors, and I really like this one, red is never my favourite colour inside but in this case the guy has done a superb job.

from me I'm afraid. The red is a really nasty shade and will look very tired very quickly I fear. Red looks great in black cars but somewhat subdued in Grey.

Personally I'd have gone for a subtle mix of blacks, greys & silver instead to complement the exterior. Too gaudy for me, but then I'm a minimalist.

Don't like the carbon fibre tat either, too "Ripspeed" for my liking. Looks far better trimmed in Alcantara, Leather or painted the same colour as the car.

2k down the drain as it'll not be worth any more than a regular spec car come chop in time... BUT it's his personal touch, so good luck to him.

Could just be the colour balance of the photo. It looks a little bit like the scheme on my old type 25 - a fairly dark red which often used to come out on photos almost luminously bright.

Each to his own eh?
My car(111S) is Mica Silver paintwork, has 340 style full harness Bucket seats (look sort of like Porsche GT3 shape with belt holes next to your shoulders) in black Alcantara with Safety Systems black 4 point harnesses. I've had the centre tunnel painted Silver to match the exterior and had a black leather gear lever gaiter hand made and topped it with a plain round aluminium ball gear knob. I've also had the door sills covered in black Alcantara which not only looks really nice but makes it more comfortable where your right leg rests against it and as a bonus softens the door closing noise as the door trim buts up against the very slightly thicker Alcantara.
The big guy with the beard and the sack full of goodies will soon be leaving a black suede Sparco steering wheel with plain aluminium Boss.
Will takes some phots when this is done and post in case anyone is interested.

prefer not to mix carbon and fabrics myself - Id either have everything CF or everything alcantara/leather etc

the old bling mobile dosent have any plastic inside...everything is either black or yellow leather and alcantara or ally

its supposed to be gold or yellow in reality as the car started life as the Type 72 JPS jobbie
