Any one got a beige car with another interior not brown
« on: August 14, 2013, 21:41:21 »
My current paint is beige 181 with the dark tan interior and 408 brown roof

the car is in paint and i am going the same 181and i need to pick the interior colour and was thinking about another colour apart from brown/tan and wondered if anyone has a beige car not in that colour interior that could post some pictures to help me choose

not sure if this is the right place to post this

I don't see what dark tan would be, but beige and tan is very understated chic on a Pagoda. If you want more contrast you could go red, burgundy, or even green. I have seen a beige w111 coupe once with a nice dark green interior and the combination was very nice.

We were talking about your car before the show on Sat night and it got me thinking that maybe you should never touch it. The combination is so rare that it's worth leaving as is.

i was after pictures of beige cars with the different interiors if anyone has any. i need to see what the contrast might look like if possible

the red looks pretty striking lamakdaddy thak you that gives me a good idea of what that combination would be and i like that.

anyone got pictures of 181 with black or something different
