Default Interior colors

I am odrering a Lemans Blue convertible with a gray top and want red interior, but it is not offered.
I have heard that you can order any color interior for the C6 as long as that color is offered, is this true?
Any way to contact BG to check on this?

I tried to order the same exact color combination....but, the computer ordering system will not allow a red interior on a blue car...no override either!

You could do that with the C5.

Not being allowed with the C6.

Yeah, and red isn't being offered for LeMans blue. But in your case, that would be a good thing, b/c I'm not sure how good the three tones would look together.

Get your dealer to talk with the Zone Manager. It can be done and that combo is a classic one. Good luck.

Go with a Grey Top and a Grey Interior, it looks great.

unless you're looking to use the C6 as a clown car in the circus you may want to reconsider the color combo

Default Wow...

Please forgive the "clown" response. Some members just can't help it. If it doesn't fit their norm, then they get personal. I think its a classic color combo. Maybe the suggestion above regarding contacting the zone manager might be helpful.

The obnoxious post was from a newbie "junior member" who just joined a couple of weeks ago... please disregard his rude post and hopefully he will mature into a respectful, thoughtful "senior member" someday...

Hope this works out for you.

Le Mans Blue with a red interior would be my first choice.

The only color a red interior doesn't go well with is green and yellow.

But honestly the cobalt red isn't red enough for me and any of the light colors would show the dirt more easily, so I'd go with black for my next choice.

I also happen to love this car that I've attached.

My LMB C6 was ordered with the ebony interior and since the ebony is not really black the combination looks great IMO...

Default Why oh why

LMB/Red would be my first choice too. If you are successful getting it ordered please let us know. Otherwise I have to settle...

Why do people knock the blue/red combo. Look at how many ZO6's were made with it and it looks good.

Did you have any luck ordering it?

I feel american car companies interior colors are very conservative. I would like to see more selections even if extra charge is requried. More colors like reds, blues, greens, darker and different shades of tan even yellow and white.

I whole heartily agree , thats why I started this campaign for "RED IN BLUE in '06" . See Thread , and everyone who feels the same give your support! Maybe we can get the "Z" LMB with the red guts .
Show your support!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
