I'm not very good with cosmetics, so I'm going to throw myself on the mercy of the faq here and ask for suggestions for my should-be-late saddle-brown* interior. As many know the factory colors are NLA, so this isn't easy.
The door cards are out of a '71/'72 so they're the earlier saddle.
The rear seat and panels are the 'right' color but a little rough.
The seats are e21 Recaros with generic brown tweed centers.
The carpet is some other shade of saddle-type brown.
The black & tan coco mats were a very nice gift, but they throw another color into the mix.
So... I have enough shades of brown here to cause a disco-era flashback!
The car is a tii with stock setup and I'm trying to keep it kind of low-key, so nice stuff like 6-series rear seats is out for now.
Options I'm considering:
Redone front Recaros and/or rear seats from Aardvark Racing in close-to-factory saddle brown vinyl.
Trade around for decent factory front seats and door cards (goodbye lateral support)
Some kind of cloth seats similar to a euro factory material?
Forget brown altogether and redo everything in factory black basketweave.
Suggestions anyone? (Other than 'ignore it and drive' - that's what I've been doing.)
Thanks,
Steve
