I am undecided if i should do my interior in a cream/tan colour or black/charcoal like i currently have!

I will all be replaced after i get her paint in HSV Racing Green!

Very tough decision!!!

Any thoughts would be great!


Cheers

Rohan

ive always been a fan of cream/tan but not sure how out-of-place it will look in the masculine HSV racing green

I love the colour (& i already have it) so that is the colour i will be using!!!!


I love the black that i have at the moment, but i think that a tan/cream/shale colour (like used it the HSV senators) would look sweet as!!!

I'd say go for either, they'll both look beautiful.
I'd personally say though, cream/tan doesn't get as good a rap as it deserves. And if you're likely to get in your mini in a dirty state, you might want to lean towards the darker colours.
My dad's pontiac is yellow with a cream interior, I quite like it.

Tough choice!!

Well, if you're not going to have a leather or vinyl wheel, you'll be fine. Get a woodgrain one, a mechanic's jumpsuit, and one of those grippy things they lean on when they work on cars, and you shouldn't spoil the interior. Even a set of crappy seatcovers in the boot in case you need them.

I think the green will comliment the cream and vice verca, if you're planning on showing it when it's done, it'll stand out more. It's a bit of a trade off. You could always have black carpets with cream seats and door cards.

i paid $22 for 7 litres of OEM HSV Racing Green base coat!! (colour)

just need the clear and the rest of the the stuff to go with it!

but i figuire that it usually costs about $70 a litre for the colour, so i got a pretty good deal! :D :D :D :D
