I've also been having a think about what colour I would like the seats recovered. 

 

I have a few colours in mind but cannot decide at the moment. 

 

Any assistance would be welcomed.

 

1, Standard Black

2, Blood Red

Looking at those and seeing the colour of your car think the brown would look ace :)

Liking the opinions so far chaps.

I agree with the brown, the misses says black but when do I very listen to her ay. 😉

I think the brown would contrast well and break up the yellow and black a bit inside.

Yeh think the brown over the black as it would stand out a little bit more, plus cant beat some good old brown British details.
