I have a 2008 VR coupe with ebony interior and can't find a 1:18 diecast to match. Maisto makes a red/cashmire coupe, is it possable to swap out the interior with another car with the ebony int? Also, what is the best on-line site for diecast, selection and price. Thanks!

I ran into the same problem looking for a black/black 1:18 to match my C6. Every one I've seen so far has the cashmere interior.

Maisto makes a LMB coupe that has an ebony interior. I found one at Costco for $10 last year but you can also find them on some of the diecast sites for about $20-25.

Not sure how you'd go about swapping the interior though, but I can't imagine why it couldn't be done.

An interior swap is pretty easy. But, if you want to go from cashmere to black, why not just paint the original? Spray it with a little testors flat black and burnish with a cloth - you'd be surprised at the results.

But, my question is - the Maisto C6 is more like Mag Red than VR, unless they have come out with a new one recently...

good luck - geo
