Thanks! I'm in the process of a complete makeover which will include anthracite grey door panels, headliner, shift boot, parcel tray. Everything else will be black. The goal is to have a completely "oem" looking 2-tone interior like I did in my '92 e36.

Well seeing as I have a parts car to play with, and that i picked up some pearlbeige sport seats, i figured i'd have a tinker with the interior too see how it looks two tone.

Finally have some pics to post of my recently transformed interior on my car.

Flowfit sport seats. Presidio gray door cards. (SEM color dye over original cardinal) I also did the shift boot for kicks. Door pulls and latch surrounds also dyed with "satin black". It doesn't match the oem "black", but it will do.

New rear and re-dyed parcel shelf.

God, I wish my red leather looked like that. Oh, I guess it would be nice to have a pair of shoes to go along with as well. :)

My interior looked like this 6 years ago. Before my brother installed a leaky moonroof, that I had to fix under my ownership:

Caused by the leaking moonroof, the seats eventually got this bad, but at least there is a 5-speed tranny in there now:

I just did a write-up on my seat swap that has brought my car back to looking like this:

Keep in mind that the whole interior used to be the tan and black with grey (falling apart) headliner.
