Changing Seat Colour

My 2003 FFRR has an Aspen interior which I have tried to get used to but would just prefer to have cream / almond.

Has anybody done this sort of transformation before and what was the best approach ?

A couple of options I have thought through are 1) just give it to somebody who specialises in interior refurb / refresh and ask them to recover existing seats 2) Try get hold of a full set of seats and door cards from a breaker.

Thoughts ?

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

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.

If you dislike it that much swap the car. In theory you should be able to do a like for like and not spend much money doing it. Discovery 4 HSE

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.

See pics :-

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.

personally, if I was to consider the entire interior, I would most definitely leave it to the professionals as it's a very, very messy job and you'd end up making a complete mess of the inside of the car! Thumbs Up Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue
