What Colour Combination for my Interior

NC_Lane · 20-10-2006, 08:59 AM

Hi All,

Im thinking of getting a custom leather interior done on my fairlane and im not sure what would be the best colour combination.

This is what the car look like

Should i do Red seats with grey trims?

or Grey Seats with red trims? the pic has blue but but you get the idea

or should I do with dark red seats like in the astra convertibles?

I reckon go the red seats with the grey trims. I would have said grey with red trims but that 1st interior is awesome!

YAY... 2000 posts! :party3:

I agree about the first photo... but that is an AU interior IIRC, how would it suit the NC's unless absolutly everything is custom made...

When you say you are getting a custom leather inteior, how custom is custom? Retrimmed? new doortrims, modified seat bases?

More info is needed before a proper opinion could be givin...

That said, the first one looks better than the others

Will be getting the door trims re done, not all but the just the part where the arm rest is. The whole door has the grey cloth on it so i will leave it there, and just change the armrest trim to red leather or suede.

Hope not to make too much changes to the seat cussions themselves as they are ery comfy, and like to keep them and not go to a very sporty look.

Will be keeping the headrests the way they are as well.
Will think of doing dash pant as well if i go with the red.

Im just thinking if the Red is too sporty for a fairlane

Personally, I think that if you are wanting to have something like the first picture, you will have to go all out and do everything to make it suit.

I dont know if having a retrimmed red leather seat will look good with a grey velour headrest and half leather and half velour doortrims.

If it were my car it be going with a 2-tone light grey and dark grey leather... but thats just me

Headrest will not go velour. All the seats will be completely leather.
with the door trims, i was thinking of going red suede to match the texture of the whole door

the first one is FPVWEPN's EF.
the seats arn't AU seats.

Allen · 20-10-2006, 12:23 PM

lol... i stand corrected :P

snypereb · 20-10-2006, 04:05 PM

Whatever that xr interior is do it.

Heffnic · 20-10-2006, 11:28 PM

love the first interior. how much do u think your up for?

EFFalcon · 20-10-2006, 11:30 PM

the custom interior in that EF is worth about $3k

bloody heavy pricing for re-trimming seats etc. i was quoted $1800 - $1900 for my eb xr seats retrimmed in just black cloth, thats not even leather!

who was that through ?

I reckon white leather with red leather/suede bolsters ;p

thre was a place in Huntingdale which has now closed. the guy is working from hom enow so the cost is lower. I have seen some of his work and it looks prety good.

I was thinking of white, but doesnt that mean i will have to colour my dash white as well?

depends how drastic it ends up looking. best to do yourself some photoshop mockups, see which colours work and which don't.

that first interior looks awesome, but have you got the EF-EL interior??

cause I reckon dark black would look the best with an EA-AD interior

mcflux · 31-10-2006, 02:44 PM

Dark black?

Is there any other black?
