I was talking to a man from the furniture clinic the other day and he said re-colouring the vinyl bits wouldn't be a problem with the right materials. Couldn't tell you what those materials are though.
And on the eighth day God created........The E30!

Going from a dark colour from a light one can be a right nightmare i would suggest just fitting some black ones in the first place they dont cost much on here or ebay, i got a set for £15 once on evil bay

You can buy special vinyl paint that works really well. Is thick aswell so will cover dark colours well.

Couldn't give you a brand name though, i have only used a sample from a bigger tin for some boat seats.
