I like the black interior (like my car) because it looks homgeneous. The beige interior looks too "broken up" with the assorted black interior bits in my opinion. I think the black looks more sporty while the beige looks more like a luxery car. While we are kind of on the subject, I don't like the maroon interior much. But in your position, I'd probably keep it OEM to maintain it's originality.

Yeah, I'd say go for the black if you have the chance. I think the beige interior is sweet too but can/will be a pain in the a.. as it wears out. No matter how hard you wax it or wash it. I'm about to do something to mine for sure.

I think both black and beige is pretty nice. Id go for black, but not at any cost. Beige looks quite nice actually.. I have some problems with my interior.

Well.. I like my interior, but as u can see its worn quite a bit.. ...not so easy to get hold of that fabric.

How about a combination of black and beige?

My car was originally Azure Blue with full beige interior. I've since installed black arm rests, center console, floormats, rear seat, rear hatch crapet, and cassette tray cover. Replaced the front seats with Navy Blue Sparco Evo 2's. I like it better than all one way or the other

Beige, Black is to plain. The Beige brakes it up and makes it look much more up to date. That's just preferance. BTW, my favorite colar is blue on these cars, post some more pics guys with blue cars.

I've had a black car with black interior. Too hot in summer. Too dark in general, only looks good with aluminum or metal trim pieces or some carbon fibre accernts. My 951 has the beige interior, looks very classy like a 80's Ferrari or Jaguar interior. The only drawback on my beige ("linen") interior is the cloth seats are a major bitch to keep clean. One of these years, I'm going to have them redone in Connolley leather in Jaguar "biscuit" (their version of light beige). This is my favourite interior material, same as you would find in Aston Martin or Bentley.

I'm assuming by "beige" you mean Linen. If you mean Cashmere, then that'd be my vote
