SLY333 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Hey guys im looking for some input as to what colour leather i should get in my White R33 Series 2 skyline, i dont want black to be honest as it is quite plain and boring but what colour leather would go well with my white skyline? also if anyone has any photos of their leather interiors please post them on this thread so i can have a look, the reason as to why im going leather is i know a trimmer and his going to re trim all my interior as i have another complete standard interior for my car Thanks guys Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/365452-what-colour-leather-to-get/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
PM-R33 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Red looks good with white but I like black. Or you could do a two tone to break the black up a bit.

ARTZ Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 whatever you do stay away frombrown/beige/tan/cream unless you want your car to look like a mochachino colours could work like red blue inserts with black but its kinda boring and been done to death.. personally Id be going for something a little different like this steel kind of colour just for the seat inserts and door trims, Then I would use this colour pewter for the rest of the seat surrounds cause it should match nicely with the standard dash and door plastic colours..then if you wanted to paint the dash surround you could paint it in tungsten which is the colour of the standard cam covers i think..it actually looks really nice when its clean. after that if you just clean your engine up really nice I think the whole car would match and tie together nicely..

SLY333 Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 some good ideas poping up, not keen on the red unfortunatly bcoz i had red leather in my old car, the steel colour looks wild definetly keen on that Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/365452-what-colour-leather-to-get/#findComment-5830920 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTZ Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 you could probably even do the whole seat in it,just get a black or dark grey stitching to help it match with the plastics..But i think it would look better as an insert Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/365452-what-colour-leather-to-get/#findComment-5831007 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARTZ Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 how do you find the quality of those ebay covers, they are definately good value, i was considering them just cause one of mine standard covers has ripped. Black with grey alacantra! alcantra looks shit hot but it doesnt wear well and can stain, i wouldnt use it on a car I was going to use daily its too high maintenance..

iseekool Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Black (or dark grey) with red stiching is awesome. (My next upgrade on my white R34) Black with silver stitching would look good too.

Birds Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Sorry buddy, but black is done time and time again for a reason. Almost everything else looks cheesy unless it's a luxury car with a luxury colour and the rest of the interior/facia has been trimmed to match. Honda S2000 for example, get away with red leather because they do all the door trims and some facias too. If you refuse to do black...stick to bright solid primary colours with a white sports car...i.e. red, blue, yellow. Dull colours tend to work better with luxury cars.

Nee-san Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I'm just going to assume that this is an RX2 with Simmonds wheels and a Kustom Krazy Krokodile Green paint job. Cream leather interior is the only way to go mate.

If you refuse to do black...stick to bright solid primary colours with a white sports car...i.e. red, blue, yellow. Dull colours tend to work better with luxury cars. you talk about cheesy then suggest bright colours..doesnt add up birds. Also black doesnt match with skyline platsics, better of with a dark flat grey. Nothing wrong with any shades of grey on white or black, Plus, Leather says luxury, a skyline is a luxury sports car so luxury colours will work fine, too many people try to sport up skylines. I think a classy looking luxury skyline will attract alot less attention from the fuzz than a sported up one with bright flashy seats. More euro style skylines I reckon, I'm tired of ricers..Your car is the perfect example Birds, it would look better done in a luxury style than sported up. Anyway to each his own I guess , thats just my opinion Sly333, go have a look at some new cars that are white and see what colour leather they use, the new GT fords have some nice colours schemes goin on, and some of the new euros have awesome interiors Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/365452-what-colour-leather-to-get/#findComment-5832276 Share on other sites More sharing options...
