I thought that it looked fine, quite liked the light coloured interior.

Chap the salesman down further on the asking price (even gheyers would not buy that spec)......and its an easy project to resolve.flyingscot68 wrote:Bit of leather dye and it's sorted
Not the first time I have removed seats/doorcards etc and got out the paintbrush/airbrush
(you can buy airbrush kits for larger items such as dash panels/door cards)
£10 worth of leather dye will sort that with ease and the finish is superb

It's probably closer to £3k below others; the spec is actually quite good, who ever spec'd it wasn't afraid of dropping cash on it.
Wonder if you can buy the harness slots seperately, they also appear to be colour matched.

I think a retrim would be the least of your worries, "Pearlescent Moonstone Silver" appears to me to have a pink-lilac tinge to it.
Knowing the motor trade as I do, if they could have airbrushed the seats and sold it for £3k more then they would have done precisely that.
