Hey everyone looking for some extra input as I'm not sure what to do. As and when money allows I am wanting to sort out my interior, so change the seats and door cards, possibly the head lining in due course.

I'm wanting cobra classics with teh headrests for seats in black as I wouldnt keep cream clean But as my car is orange I dont really want blue or red piping and as I have said white/cream would get too mucky, so would opt for either black piping or no piping.

I already have a farily new carpet fitted and it is black.

That leaves the door cards, what colours should I get these? I have been thinking about black and orange (depending if I can get the right colour orange) or just plain black. If I went for plain black would everything be too dark? As I would then have black seats, black door cards, black carpet. Would probably have a cream headlining/light colour not really sure on my options for this.

So what do you think, would it be too dark? What other options have I got? I don't have a stupid amount of money to spend on it but as I have said I will be doing it as and when I can afford it.

Thanks in advance
Dan

Worth a try looking round, my blue ones came from Stanford Hall a couple of years ago.

The mats weren't very expensive, about £20.

The seats are Paul Smith seats and were a lot more than the mats at £450

Yeah might not have that much as got to pay the body shop this week and need a few other bits before I can really think about buying new mats or seats

Guessing you think I should go for all black then

Do cobra seats all have cobra stitched onto the back of them? As I have never really looked into my choice of seats so not sure what are "the real deal" and which are copies/fake

Any chance you could get a pic?

Looks like the general opinion is it will be fine

my old mini city was all black on the inside, pure white on the outside and black interior, very much like rocket's car (in-fact, rocket now has these actual door cards in her car as i sold them to her ). actually its a very effective method of styling your car. neat, clean and classic



my mainstreams are all black inside as standard, again smart and effective
