Or a photoshop if anybody is a dab hand.

Have to spec the Sagaris ASAP as the factory need the colour for April deliery and just wanted to get a visual image beforehand if possible.

We want it to be a "purposeful/I mean business " colour scheme. Exterior is going to be Reflex Charcoal, so was thinking:

Black dashtop. Mulberry lower.
Mulberry seats withblack flash and inserts.
Black leather door cards with Mulberry door handles.
Mulberry gaiter with Black surround and Mulberry transmission train.
Black carpets with Mulberry piping.

Finally... Black or Mulberry sterring wheel.

I know ehasler had a Black and Scarlet Tuscan, but don't remember seeing a T350C/Tamora with this colour scheme.

Help would be appreciated as don't want to make the wrong choice.

Thanks.
Tuan

Pics of my car on my site show the Mulberry bit - but with cream, not black. Happy to send you some if you want to do some photoshopping.

Question: would it look better if the colour scheme on the seats and the door cards were reversed...? As that was the original plan. I think this would maybe have more of an impact.

Thanks for the help so far!

I had Tuan on the phone earlier asking me to photoshop something - by finding that photo you saved me a lot of hassle trying to bodge it with other colours!

Having seen the two schemes, I think I prefer the original, predominantly black scheme... looks more aggressive.

HELP!!!

What's the collective opinion between the two?

I was going to go for red in my new t350, and gave up in the end and went for something totally different! Its really hard to get a nice blend within, staying agressive enough and at the same time liveable with!

Good luck

I can't seem to do anything useful with the second one as I only have paintshop at work not photoshop...

However I reckon the second one with black instead of grey will look awesome. Question is can you get black carpet?

Yes you can. If it were that colour scheme, replace everything that's Grey with Black and you just about have it.

Reflex Charcoal is probably one of my favourite colours for a TVR and looks stunning on a Tuscan, and the red/black interiors can also look realy nice. But the base colour is of the paintwork is basically dark green.

Is mulberry going to be the best contrast for that or will it clash a little? Just a thought and I may well be wrong, just can't remember seeing those colours on a reflex charcoal car before.

From memory they are normally specced with green/black interior, possible with some lighter beige/magnolia/creme colours. But understand if you feel this won't have quite the impact you are looking for.

Agree with you Andy. The highlight in Reflex charcoal is green. Think green is a better contrast than red for the interior IMO?

I suggest an Anthracite/Mulberry Red combination to go with your reflex charcoal, anthracite only comes in leather, and you can get anthracite carpet to go with it.

Thanks for the comments.

It's all done now and had a complete change of mind.

It's a bit of a gamble but have gone for Black with Scarlet inserts... I've got a feeling it's going to look soooo

Factory quoted a mid April delivery.

I know it won't be to everybody's tastes, but thank god for the TVR and "anything goes" attitude! After all,if all cars were the same, wouldn't life be boring?

Ed was yours Reflex Charcoal too (your profile says reflex green). I'm currently choosing colours for a t350 and that's my favourite at the moment.

Do you also have any interior pictures of your car (I seem to remember the saddle leather/green combo going really well).

thanks!
