Your problem is the Dashboard and trim plastics are green and will not work with any other interior colour seats/carpets etc |

Good point. How far do you end up going ???? Given the car only has 60k on the clock though and 2 owners (with me) she might just be worth it.... |

Might be possible to dye them? I know Alan3 a member on here dyed a brown steering wheel black to good effect. Might be worth a try if it doesn't work buy a used set. Present :2008 TDV8 HSE

In my opinion, the sheer amount you'd have to replace I question if its worthwhile. Also, once trim has been dismantled once or twice I don't think it ever goes back the same and you end up with mystery squeaks and rattles.

All good points and as such I took a look when I had to go out to drop the mutts off for the weekend at our daughters. I actually think based on the mix of what is there now cream/ivory will actually work with existing setup for dash etc.

Just swap the seats out for ivory with aspen piping (cream with green) that's what I have in mine. |

Guess you could get then Connelly sprayed Parchment/Ivory but may not be worth it. |

Yes indeed I dyed my steering wheel from brown to black, but the problem you would have is that you cant dye leather to a lighter tone than it is, so going from Aspen (dark green?) to say ivory or parchment won't work.
