i'm getting closer to choosing colour for my trim/interior...

BUT... i'm strugling what would suit the tuscany yellow theme... the one that i'm leaning toward is these...

ek61...(re-trimmed buy stinky)

ekkoo1... camio beige sedan

plus i still really like the red & white... (but will it go with the tucany) ????

i'm looking forward to your thoughts...

thanks
matty martin

most people thought white or off white... but because mine will be a daily driver, i didnt think the seat would last white very long...

i REALLY like the colour in ekkoo1's cameo sedan... but very hard to find...

at the moment i going with the red & white door trims you can see in the above post & matching seats... as i think it gives the car a bit more of a streeter, rat rod feel in a polished sort of way

sounds confusing hey...

white does look sweeeeet though, i would have pointed you in the green road as this definitely goes with the car... look in ek61 pics... this is also one of my options, but maybe with white inserts...

which reminds me... look at "kingsa" his ute is tuscany yellow & from memory his trim is dark green & white...

hope this helps

Here's an idea I'll be using on one of my future cars, excuse the rough photochop the colours have been changed many times

i don't mind your photo shop idea. the black and creamy yellow looks good. my last car was an red HZ with a red and black interior so it would be nice to use a color other than yellow. grey looks to much like a new style car. so , maybe a burnt orange and beige? still up for more suggestions.

Hi Dave went through the same debate with my ute with Matty and his wagon, myself went with a similar green to that of the original bench but replaced the grey strips with white.. ute only goes out rarely so need to worry about dirtying the seats works a treat with the tuscany yellow heres some pics

Cheers
