Default interior colour opinions please

hi gang.
I have bought an early tourer zircon silver club se for a wee project also to be my daily user.
I have a few ideas of thing I will add/change ect, the car has the club fabric seats which have to go imo as leather makes the car a much nicer place to spend time and is a very cheap easy upgrade.
I have choice of ash grey which I'v done a few times, or sandstone which I thing looks but probably a wee bit light colour for keeping clean.
so I have bought a deep sea green personal line trim, mainly because it was available, and I love the p/line trims, I am trying to picture in my head what it would be like in a silver car as never seen this combination before. opinions please folks what do you think

Silver being a neutral colour I dont think it would look to bad. Certainly unusual.

Just curious, could you have ordered that combination new?

According to my brochure it would have been possible to order a Zircon silver Tourer with the deep sea green leather from the personal line at a cost of 250 GBP including VAT. However the recommended combination with Zircon silver was neptune blue.
Personally, I think that it will look stunning in Silver with Green.

I agree, neptune would be the obviouse combination.
I didnt know it could be ordered new, although obviously should have known that was the whole point behind persolan line .
like you part of me thinks it will be stunningly different but other part of me is saying argh I dont know
anyway comitted now I have bought it but wont have it for a wee while as I need to find time to go strip it out of car

i think the green is a bit too greeny, but its the best colour to match to wood, so adding wood capped window switches, wooden gear knob etc will balance the interior colours.

interesting though Hmmm I do have a walnut wheel that would look nice, but I never enjoy the feel of them tbh, food for thought

Tam I like the sound of the green personal line and definitely fit that walnut wheel. I love the look and feel if them. Have them on my 75 CDTi and MGF with one to fit on the 260. Very envious of your green leather.
