Default Interior update complete

Over the last couple of months I have been purchasing interior components, painting them and then installing. I want to thank LuisZ51 for providing both the information on where to purchase the matching interior dye and a brief tutorial. The before and after are as follows

That looks amazing.. Did you replace the components or painted them? What color did you have before?

I purchased all the components in black, painted them with interior dye(paint) and then replaced them. In total I used about 5 cans of dye (paint) to do the batwing, passenger grab handle, passenger upper dash, passenger door panel and drivers door panel.

Looks great. I changed mine to Kalahari, except seats. Originally ebony. I got parts here and there to replace the originals. Real PITA for the passenger dash.

Looks awesome! Confirming the seats were already red when you bought the car, yes? I’m trying to find a A8 Z06 with the red interior and it’s tougher than I thought it was going to be.
