Cab interior change color opinions?

[shazE30]

Hi all, well summer is here and I got my cab out of hibernation.... I have owned and restored the e30 for the last 4 almost 5 years and have practically done everything I want to do to it....But as all you know with e30's its never really finished well my latest job is to restore the leather seats as they are starting to show their age... After seeing goldysings thread on dyeing the interior to change the colour I can’t decide if I should change my leather colour to red or keep it black







If any photoshop experts can change the colour of interior to red in the first Pic that would be very helpfull:D

Stunning cab

I'd keep them black, just get some leather restorer to bring them back to near original condition

Red!

[he30]

Red or maybe indigo blue would look

[grantfk10]

With the white car, I'd keep the leather black ( or silver gray would look good!)

got abit bored......

Looks okay, not too sure about the red centre in the steering wheel..

See how it goes without the red door cards becuz the red seems quite bright for some reason, don't want it to look too too much.

Overall looks good though, get some more pics up!!

GovR top man 10/10 for effort can I be cheeky and ask you to do the first pic where you can see the outside of the cab and only the headrests really... it will give me a better idea of how the red interior sits against the white car

Thanks in advance

[GovR]

No worries!

Cheers mate dont know if you mean with the red photoshopped interior or black but thanks eitherway....

GovR thanks for your photoshop skills has definatly helped me make my mind up and im keeping the interior black...I think the red is too e93 wannabe oem old skool FTW

[ImysE30]

Good choice, black goes with everything

[Rickz]

Maybe some all red lights to go with the whole white/red theme?

Ahhh dont worry bout it shazE30. In a couple of months something along the lines of oxblood red interior in a black cabby mite be hittin this zone.

Where are you guys getting your oxblood leathers from wish I could get my hands on a set....ah well deffo think it will look sweet in a black cab looking forward to the pics when you get it done

[GovR]

goin to get a professional retrim done, hopefully he will giv us a discount cos his gona have 2 e30 cabbies and a e21 to do!

1 of the cabbies is gettin a engine transplant at the moment, and the others getting bodywork dealt with. and the e21 is a work in progress

I had exactly the same problem ~1,5 years ago. Red is too flashy, white is too hard to keep clean and in white car white interior is bit too much white if you know what i mean

"Baseball-glove brown" or black with some grey were the two options i had left and i ended up to latter (anthrazite alcantara & black leather) Link to the picture.

Check www.e30.de out, there're lots of different interiors ;)
