Default Z16 Winter Interior Project

Hi Guys,

Just finished my winter project here in the UK, changed the interior from all black to red and black with the addition of new A4 Corbeau recliners which I had re-trimmed along with the trim parts in Bentley Poppy Red leather, for those of you who are unable to find red door speaker covers and a glove box latch, I sprayed the originals with a matching sheen red paint which came out really well. Hope you like the pictures

Your car looks great. A mod red interior makes a stunning statement for the car.

I love what you did, and I agree the Z16 interior needed a little color. The color I chose was blue. See my Mod Blue Z16 below.
I really like how the Corbeau seats came out they look awesome. Nice job!

Thanks guys, I appreciate the comments, would also like to thank members of the forum for their input on the Corbeau seat installation which was extremely helpful along with the recommendation of the MGW shifter.

Nice job! Great winter mod. Just in time for driving season!

The nice thing about interior mods is you get to enjoy them every time you drive the car!

WOW, I love it. What wheels are those? They look amazing! I've always thought red would complement the Z16 well, especially since it has a subtle red stripe in the stripes that really would match the interior.
