I´m thinking of mixing the old coop´s complete tan leather interior with the newer´s all black. Every piece and part in black is very serious and austere to me, and reminds me a mob´s limo, and I want more joyful car. Mainly the idea is to keep the black carpet, put the tan seats, already have the handbrake console wrapped in black leather, but not sure about the door panels - to put the tan ones as they come or to keep the blacks only changing the hand support (or whatever is its name) with the tan parts. Have seen few mixes black/brown and it looks nice, the only thing is the coop is sprint blue. Wouldn´t it be too kitschy? Anybody had done something similar? Or some photo of sprinty with tan interior? Opinions are welcome too.

Tan & Porto nono
Try dash & speaker rings for a bit of bright bling, they realy lift the consol area. Spray the consol porto to match the dash strip. Even porto door card leather inlays? But personally, I'd steer clear of mix & match (says he with a black & red interior rolleyes )just keep it black leather and lift it with some careful bling wink

Get a grey leather interior. I was a bit worried it might be a bit much against the sprint blue dash/door strips, but I think it looks ace. I've also had the centre console and handbrake console painted in gloss black (and intend to do the steering wheel cowling and door handle surrounds) at some point.

I didn't bother fitting the grey carpet that came with the interior... standard black looks better anyway. My interior now lights brighter and fresher than a gloomy black might have thumb

You might have my old interior then Trappy? I liked the Grey, but finding one is going to be difficult unless you go for a custom re-trim. smile

Thank you all for the comments smile have enough time to decide though, can´t work much on the car during the week, so a day per week gives me months to think laugh I really love the tan/brown/burgundy interiors, and can´t say the same for the blacks, and when to the custom work, in my case involves as much logistics as time and money, for small parts is OK but for seats crazy wow. Anyway, will try to match one door this weekend to get clear perception and memorizing photo laugh

It's not your Suba. I picked it up off JBT, I think it came out of a victim of the scrappage scheme... It's not perfect to be honest and I'd rather change the fronts for aftermarket grey seats. They do come up every now so worth looking out for, but don't hold your breath...

last one I saw on here. Might be worth asking?

The door pocket (or tray) on the first photo can be changed with tan one also.

Si señor! Looks nice and much more equilibrated over the sprinty base. That definitely changes my opinion on grey interiors (damaged by MB with their "no other colors, only tones of grey" design solutions) laugh
