Interior colour for flip paint TVR

[PrinceRupert]

I'm starting to think about having the interior of my Cascade Indigo TVR Tuscan re-trimmed at some point in the near future. It currently has a light purple roof and door cards, with light grey leather and carpets; the carpets are a bit faded and the leather is in decent condition but starting to crack and fade in places.

Wanted some inspiration for what colours to go with - any pics or ideas? I'm not really a black/black interior sort of chap, but wonder whether anything too bold (tan on tan?!) might clash with the exterior. What about black carpets with white leather?

I think this looks pretty epic:







Pics welcomed.

That pic looks great to me but im a lover of tan, maybe tone a few areas down with some black if you think its too ott.

Ive been thinking much the same thing for my Chameleon Blue Tamora.

I was wondering about a Dark brown but cant work out if it would look good or simply awful. ill need to order some swatches and work out what goes or contrasts nicely.

I can actually see me taking the easy route and recreating the Swordfish spec again but in full leather.

Any recommendations and pictures appreciated here also.

My reflex purple Tuscan had interior leather which was dark grey and black carpets. I think it was a good contrast to the exterior.

Whatever you do, not white leather.


Unless you're Katie Price.

Tan and brown with black accents are a safe option. Pale greys look good especially with polished aluminium parts. Do you have interior windscreen reflection in the sun? If so a Matt dash in alcantara, dark grey or black is best.
Purple leather is a bit marmite I think, purple carpets are not available anymore.
I think what you should also look at are the use of perforated leather highlights within the seat cover design.
I had my Griff seats reupholstered with a slightly different cover design. Original seats but made a huge difference. Picture below.

Had my Spectraflair blue Tam re-trimmed in black leather and anthracite alcantara with blue diamond stitching, however within a few weeks wished I’d gone with the “braver” option of tan leather with black accents and black carpet, I think it would have looked great
