Interior Colour Scheme

I thought I would start a poll (in the column on the right on http://smlight-thewidowmaker.blogspot.com/) to get some opinions on colour schemes for the interior. There's huge number of options and combinations; the entire upholstery, carpets and internal paneling can be done in a single colour, or a two-tone can be achieved picking out the inlays and piping on the seats and the piping on the carpets.

Summoning up ropey artistic ability, here's a selection of colour schemes:

A is the period colour combination - a dark red interior with the BRG exterior, there's a picture of that towards the start of the blog. B is the safe all black interior, C is black but with the seat inlays and all the piping in the dark red as a nod towards the original. D is the same but with the green carried through, and yellow in F. E and G are cream and black detailing on the dark red interior. And all cream is a possibility as shown in H.

Personally I quite like the black with dark red detailing in C, as it gives at least a nod towards the original. But I may change my mind yet...

i'd go for all cream with green or black pipe :)

Stay away from cream - it gets grubby quickly, and if you go for a cream dashboard expect major windscreen glare when the sun reflects of the pale surface and into your field of vision (I had a cream-interior MGTF once, and once was enough).
