Hi,
I currently have the sandstone leather interior with a Moonstone exterior. I'm considering changing it to Sea Green interior?

There's a set on flea bay for £250 ono, is this expensive? I know changing it would be a big job but how difficult is it really?

Thoughts appreciated.

Thanks
Don

A full interior swop is a MASSIVE job and make sure that you have everything for that £250, as you need steering wheel, column surround, centre console, dash top, heater box covers, carpet, door cards, etc.

Changing it is easy with correct torx bit, people have sold sets on here for £70, I think £250 is £150 over priced.

I'll keep an eye out for anyone that has the sea green for sale at a more reasonable price

You might have to wait a while, they are quite rare.

That's not just reasonable, it's fantastic value.

I know someone who paid £140 more than that just for the seats and door cards after looking for a year.

An interior change isn't a complicated job, I can do it, so anybody can - the key is patience.

Depends on opinions, Dominic22 is a gent and a fair member because he was selling a set for about £70 a year or so ago, the Arden Green car I would put it in cost £200 so I would not spend £250 on the interior, tourer green leather is rare, saloon comes up a little more often.

Deep sea green in a moonstone car was a recommended colour combination by MG Rover back in the day, the two work well together. I have a factory fitted Deep sea green interior in my Rover 75 and it really is a nice place to be
