Styling Original colour or something new?

[patches]

Am thinking of redoing the interior of my 53 Reg B in leather and have researched possible options. My quandry is that I would prefer a beige/tan leather which would not look (in my opinion) that good with the Shine Grey it is currently. I am thinking of painting it a deep red colour like the Rubino Red currently available on Alfa Romeo's. Any views on how this would look or other potential colours?

HI

Do you have pics of the car as it is now?

Most current shots are on the website where I (re)acquired it! Will take some new shots next bright day.

i like cream inside with red outside , but beige goes with everything, just a girl's opinion

Interior for silver I think can only be Black or Red. Cream can work as I guess your hood lining is cream (Hardtop) I would advise (Alcantaria or sude centre) as leather all over I think is to much, makes your suits shiny. And it's cold in the winter and hot in the summer. I went for the Alcantaria option and its so nice.

Silver can be messed up if the wrong colours are used. Do a google image search ...

Mines up for full respray/new bumpers at the end of March..Thinking of a complete colour change...Fiat fire orange looks good but the bodyshop advise that a complete change of colour from blue to orange would be a nightmare, all the trim parts etc..Anybody any thoughts?

Unless its a blue body and dayglo orange hardtop??

go ORANGE you know you want too

I don't know why you'd want to change it, I really like that blue...

Rustbucket - Do what will make you happy - this aren't cars we spend money on for the future value! Plus Fire Orange would be stunning on the B.

I'm thinking beige leather seats and dash with tan piping and heating added. Redo the hard top in beige alacantra and paint the exterior in Rubino Red.
