Replacing cream leather with black, anyone done it?

[nutski]

I'm definately going to change the seat belts, maybe the center pillar, and quite possibly the parcel shelf if I can find a black one which has the sun blind, i think the rest will look ok, don't really see much of the carpet as i have the black rubber Peugeot mats.
Not sure if i'm gonna take the door cards off again so i can spray the walnut trim, i have the front trim done in cossack grey, just takes so long to get the clips off the back of the trim!
Only a few things left i want to do now, need a Welton panel and some silver rings around my dials, think i'll have to leave it at that before the girlfriend starts objecting a bit more..... got away with a remap as I didn't tell her till after it was done.......

Just do what I do and quote half what it actually cost

She thinks the car was £400 less than it was, and that the whole interior cost £75........... (was actually only £110 so not far off...)

Good man, but a word of caution - you need to remember the figures you quote as they can come back and bite you in the ass (I fell foul of this one)

I've also learnt if they ask how much something was never start the sentance with 'Erm, well, er, it was about....', always go quickly with 'It was only [Insert suitably undercut figure here]' as then it seems to lead to less questions and moaning.....

Good call

Alternatively tell her what it really cost and when she starts moaning, just quietly mention how much she spends every month on her horses and watch the conversation quick come to an end...

Only works if the missus has horses though, so I'm lucky on this one!

Alternatively you could mention the Clothes, shoes, bags and 'OK' magazines but be carefull

I normally work things out against how many books she buys, i was 3 minutes late getting to the shop on Sunday (needed the door card on ) and there was already 6 books in the trolley! We no longer have a spare room, its a 'library'.
