Righty, I have a colour chosen for the Ventora, which is a nice mid green metallic...  and amongst my stuff I have found an immaculate-ish 2 tone blue set of interior door trims for the FD. My black door trims for the Ventora are well tatty. So I thought about using the blue ones... so would a blue interior in a green car look cool and all, or dreadful. I can't quite decide. Or I could chose a blue for the paint, but I don't really want to. nor do I really want to recolour the door cards. |

Generrally as a rule it doesnt work. but rules are there to be broken i suppose, could try it...   |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

Sorry, don't like the green, and can't see if working well with blue....
Really need a pic of the doorcards to see, but blue interior on a green car, bit "baz" isn't it?

"Blue and green never seen except with yellow in between" I think once quoted in Jalopy years ago.

Seeing as I'm colour blind I'll abstain on this one  I like the purple on that Calibra though.... If it's just door cards that are the problem you could have ago at recovering them yourself with some black vinyl? A fairly plain design ought not be too difficult. |

Follow your dreams or you might as well be a vegetable. |

The door cards are heat formed plastic. Impossible to recover well. I've seen many failed attempts in my years of Vauxhalling. Black gaffer tape loks as good as anything really. I might just see if I can find some better black ones, fat chance really though.

Have you thought about getting hold of that plastic spray dye stuff? It worked really well on street's Mk3 Escort dash.
I don't think blue and green would be all that hideous, but it's not a colour combo I'd go for. Black interior would work better IMHO

I got some black stuff from halfrauds recently, so far impressed.
Not fancy the car blue then, bit OTT though, nowt wrong with the green.
