Retrim Colour Help/advise?
My dad is going to re-trim an interior for me for my black cabrio. I cannot decide what colour to go for… I am tempted by black leather and suede, however I am also thinking Dark Brown leather all over. (reason for this is i presume its not been done before)
anyone got any advise (what would you get it like?). Pics of retirms?
and this is the car…

Seriously, I think dark brown looks really good with black cars.

ye my mums just suggested that… burgendy
as to how much he would charge hes never done a whole interior, so doesnt know on time and costs fully but when hes done mine (if your still wanting it doing) i will let you know a price.
