Interior Colour Change?

James from Praha · 29th April 2021, 23:50

Question regarding a 2002 Rover 75 Tourer British Racing Green HFF....I currently have the Beige Leather...I wanted the Deep Sea Green but can only find a Neptune Blue to swap it out with....has anyone tried this combination? Do the Neptune seats have enough green tint to look good with the racing green or will it just look odd?

Thanks James

Second question....the interior looks blue/green to me, it is coming from a Raven Black car....is it possible for a Raven Black to have the Neptune interior...when I look it up it should not have been an option...Thanks James

Raven black being a very uncommon colour I'd be tempted to keep the car standard.

If it was me, id do zt door cards, dark carpet, interior, black 75 leather seats and black oak trims in dash. What I did with my 1.8.

Lot of contrasting blacks and charcoals then, would look modern and subtle at once.

Plus easy to return to standard one day.

The Raven Black is the donor car...I wanted to fix it with parts from my car but it was too far gone with the rust....wheel wells and inside the door jams.

Your car looks amazing Colin....you did a great job, it does look very crisp and modern.

Have you got pictures of the corrosion, sounds extensive!
Thanks, Paul.

No I didnt take pictures....the guy seemed really up front about everything that needed repair on the car...just mechanical along with some rust on the rocker panels (already worked out to have them replaced)....he had said everything else was great....drove 2 hours to see it and was completely gutted when we got there....the pictures on line must have been years out of date....not one panel was not dented or rusting...even had parts rusting I did not know was possible ...I was expecting to replace a door or fender....but not all all of them and even the rear quarter panels were rusted....

I was considering to make an offer to buy his interior....but it looks blue (well green blue)....I really wanted green, but not sure what the green actually looks like in real as I have only seen it in pictures (We have very few Rovers here)
