Interiors. .what colour ?

I'm about to redo my interior on my wagon. I'm torn between two worlds.

Do I do it school black, black carpet, seats dash, trims and lining.

or Should I do it a more modern colour like grey or a combination of grey and a patten.

My car is white so I figure black would make a good contrast.

Also anyone know a place in adelaide I can pick up velour type material for a reasonable price.

i rekon a grey and or pattern would look much more modern... but have you thought about going a bit more crazy and doing a red or a blue? you dont have to go leather for it to look good. new vinyl can look pretty good in deep red.

but yeah for simplicity and for it to look modern go grey

Both would look great and as you said black you provide a nice contrast with the white exterior. Maybe look at the positives and negatives of each option if your finding it hard to decide.... such as black will cause the interior to appear a lot smaller, whether that is a + or - for you. things like that
hope that helps

i recon a deep blue would look fuckin mad with white body. i had a dark blue gem with grey and black iterior look pritty good. i dont think u should go with grey on a white car tho will look too bland. i would go for a blue or red. but its up to u, personal choice. its not like iv done a design course or anything Wink

hehehehe
have fun.

I'll prolly do it old school black and keep everything nice and understated. (I've done a design course ! haha.. not that it means shit. It's all just personal choice)

About the velour, I rang a place today and they wanted between 15 and 40 bucks per metre !

Did most of my trim myself with dad. cost me 30/m for simonsons cloth. marine grade. Might be able to work something out, as in i may be able to do some of it for you for a small fee.......

White vynal with grey cloth inserts, grey dash, and grey carpets would look sweet in urs i rekn. White trims for doors and rear with grey inserts also. This way ur ass doesnt get burnt in summer.

have a look www.geocities.com/mygemi
