I've seen it and it looks good. You might want to add more aluminum pieces to the interior to make it pop, or go the other way and add CF pieces and contrasting black carpeting. And yes it costs but the console cover (CPT or CUV) and rear center console (XMZ), gear shift piece (CDZ), and door finishers (XTV) all make the car look much more finished.

My only question is the silver belts. I've seen a car at my stealership in the past with very grubby silver belts and they looked like they belonged on a very used Oldsmobile...

Not really feeling that color combo...something just looks off with the contrast. I do, however, like Sand Beige with a black, white, red or blue exterior.

I have A/S with an all leather Cocoa or deep brown interior.

I think it is a great combo.

I am also not feeling the AS and Sand. My father has an AS 987 with Stone grey and it looks nice. Regarding the belts, I have seen some silver and even red belts that looked really grubby. I guess they get handled so much that it is hard to avoid. Obviously, black belts will wear the best. With Arctic Silver, I think black, stone grey or those colors in two tone would look best. The darker grey would probably also look nice, but at a cost.

Like Cole said; Grey/Tan was a No-No .. past tense. It became one of those very hip combinations for people who do not decorate houses themselves. At least it's: interesting .. worthy of comment - up/dn - vs. just another _________ .

Having said .. I feel fortunate to have found full Cocoa. Outside: the car is JERRMAN! ...inside its: Bri-dish.

I agree, Cocoa would be a better contrast, but if you must have the beige, do it with the 2 tone so you get a black dash. The glare is gonna get to you.

Default matching, making my bland black interior a bit different

The car I bought was seal greay and black interior, black gauges etc... I wanted to do something a bit different so swapped out my Black Gauge Cluster for the silver and my silver seat belts go in this week. On the black I think it will look sharp, I hope the belts compliment the gauge cluster and maybe the belts could even pick up the exterior seal grey color.....who knows. I will post pics once it gets done. That said I left my sport Chrono black as sometimes I think the silver sport chrono on the black dash area pops to much.... so I will have silver gauges and black wart/s-chrono..... if I do nbot like it will replace the sport chrono with silver as well.... will get some pics up once I get the car back... may accent a few other parts inside if needed but not 100% sure what else would be the best..ideas?

Tan/Beige is my favorite interior hands down on red, blue, black etc cars but on Silver/Grey cars my top choice is black interior all the way...

I'm not a fan of Silver/Sand either. I would much rather put silver with natural brown, or cocoa, or terracotta, or carrera red, or black, or natural grey, or.......... To me, silver with grey or with sand beige looks washed out.

You guys who have posted on this thread today, you are several chapters behind in the doctorpcar purchasing saga. There is no longer an ordered car. For the latest drama, check this thread.
