my d9 has a dark boot carpet, real handy because the dogs hair doesnt show up unless i let a brown dog into the boot which does show up, but you could always spray the carpet black.

why would there be another colour, imagine having the same carpet i have in the inside of my car, cream, imagine putting a wet soggy dog in the boot it would be a disaster to keep clean.

thats the texture that jeremy clarkson didnt like when he did that saloon test back in the 90's but i suppose whacky textures for a while in the 90s were the cool thing, so what though as long as the seat is comfy. Any seats with a hard plastic or metal logo in the middle should be burnt, becaue them innocent looking logos always cause great discomfort.

go mad and get them the same colour as your car, red. but the problem with red seat belts is they look a bit boy racerish. Grey is fine with black.

i think only difference now to mine was the seatbelts but i aint changing them

wonder if the fabric spray will die the seatbelts
