My interior plans

[adamSRi]

Well....Ive got a few, but wanna put them across to you lot for feedback etc.

At the mo, Ive got the grey recaro trim.
I had always planned to convert it all to black trim but cant find all the bits I need, so i came up with these ideas;


Idea A

Keep all grey plastic etc in car. But cover the SRi pattern material on seats and door cards in black alcantara. This would darken the interior and make it look rather stylish.




Idea B

Change everything to black plastic and keep the SRi pattern cloth. This would involve finding black seat covers OR retrimming the seat bolsters black (which would leave grey vinyl on seats - possible making it look unfinished and odd).




Idea C

Change all plastics too black incl door cards. But retrim the material into a grey too match the seats and then retrim the middle of the seats black like in Idea A.



Any feedback or anything would be grateful. I think Idea A would look good and would be less hassle out of any of em. Would also mean I could sell my black dash and door cards and make some money back. But would leave a big grey dash at front.

Or theres Extreme Idea D - which is look and research into fitting a Mk4 Astra dash into Mk3

Either way..Freak mate..... lmao

[MRARCTICII]

i like the idea of option D but out of the others, i would go for black, i always prefer darker interiors tho

[adamSRi]

Option D is no more as cant be arsed...too much hassle. Its a big enough job swapping mk3 astra dashboards let alone puttin one in from another car.

[Tracey]

prefer dark interior

[Brett]

Idea B mate. lokos by far the most effective. and also the seat trim in your car is a good design.

[adamSRi]

arghh

i would go ahead and do it
but my seats are minted condition and the support is excelent as you know brett so dont really wanna buy new seats.
just need the covers so i can nick the black parts.

[Brett]

yeah dont change the tseats, just get the blosters retrimmed black.

[adamSRi]

thats where the problem lies.
not sure if can get the same colour material as what the black seats are trimmed in and also means there will be grey vinyl left on back of seat

[Brett]

take the black viynl out of that one at the scrappy you pinced the handles from

it cant be hard finding the materia mate, go to any fabric shop or wherever.

[adamSRi]

not just a case of pinching it....hmm
dunno
maybe it is

hmmm
lol

mate - dont give a fook about that - look at this:



it looks ace!

[adamSRi]

could look too contrasting though. i imagine looking through window at it and first thing that comes into my head is chess board.... lmao

too much of a dark/light contrast.

[adamSRi]

hmmmm

[OllyHewitt]

i still say A - never seen it done before - still looks ace everytime i look at it to!

go for it - cheaper than others aswell maybe!

I agree with Olly, i think it looks tops!

[adamSRi]

i know olly but its the contrast of dark/light colours.

[Freak]

The contrast IS a GOOD thing....

Looks the classiest and look slike the most work has been done

The other option is way too much hassle for not much of a result.....Still looks like a standard interior to be honest. Pointless

I can do (and want to do) the A option for you you know that.

[PhilM]

[OllyHewitt]

'A'

[adamSRi]

[anskills]
