I'm a little stumped as to what colour I should do the interior.. seats, LEDs, etc

Nothing seems to jump out as complimentary to maroon, short of black.. Which is meh. Thoughts?

Pretty much just black or carbon fibre.

May be able to get away with a beige sort of shade, but I wouldn't use too much and wouldn't know how it'd look.

I did consider that.. Tans, and such.. I think it'd look too 'classy' for my taste


What about primary red, for the seats (mixed in with some black)? Rest of the interior mainly black, with subtle red here and there..
or would the red be out of place with the maroon?

I feel you have to be a bit careful with red (though that's just my taste), especially in the interior. Might get away with a darker shade.

Definitely agree... WELP guess I'm selling it off for another colour :troll:

Our maroon Merc has a 'chestnut' interior, basically Tan and brown.
The later series had Light and Dark tan.
Good combo.
