Opinions on interior please

[Duke Thrust]

Hello all,

I'm thinking of having the Cerb re-sprayed in Lamborghini orange (I think it's pearl mica).

As such the green bits in the interior are unlikely to 'go' with the exterior, what are peoples thoughts? I'm thinking get the green bits re-trimmed in black?

Any ideas on the cost of this sort of re-trim?

Dunno I think the green might be ok you know, I've seen green with that colour somewhere.
I guess the ideal would be to change the green for orange

edited to add a quick Photoshop addition of Orange leather

Save the cash - leave the green and stick a nice green Cobra strip over the car!

Lambo orange requires completely black interior, apart perhaps from orange stitching & maybe orange seat facings/inserts

Agree with the change to black, it would look a lot nicer inside and not very 'fussy'. If those bolsters and seat inserts are black as they appear in teh pictures then your half way there already !!

Yep - get it completely retrimmed in black with maybe a bit of contrasting grey alcantara for good measure

Can highly recommend Martrim near Northwich or Nantwich or Pickerings in Bradford.

All Black interiorand yes mine is too,would not have it thru choice though,why dont you get your Chim painted and see how you feel,even if you just get the green bits done in Black after its no big deal

Black interiors do need some contrast, mines all black leather with orange alcantara (sp!) and orange stitching and i think it looks spot-on against the arancio paint.

With the Cerb, and without going to the cost of a full re-trim, I'd change all the green for black, and replace those tired looking carpets with black too. Black looks good against the magnolia, and will help to darken the interior down to contrast with the orange. Oh and save up a little to get the wheel done in anthracite too

I think that's the way to go - in the Cerb I think that all black can make the interior seem a little claustrophobic, the magnolia gives it a lot of light and the feeling of space.

The carpets are in pretty good shape - the lighting on the photo makes them seem more than a touch grubby.

Waaay ahead of you with the wheels
