Been busy with the interior, Painted the centre console, gearbox surround and ashtray etc in moondust silver, the original color was grey...

Opinions please, is it too bright?

The silver is abit bright for me, i'd have gone with a darker grey. I like the lighting. How is everyone getting around the problem with the ciggy lighter colour (ie the surround is green on the sax)

Its just a buld change pal, tricky and fiddly...need plenty of patience but you just order the kit off t-bay...

I am going to tone it down a little, more of a grey again.

I used a gunmetal in my astra bit like preds above, it wasnt in your face but clearly stood out, and made the interior look 100% better.

Did the blue light conversion like you too. much nicer than orange

like it gives a nice contrast to the black dash. the blue lightning defo looks better than the orange in the standard astra and corsa's :y: personally I wouldn't go darker.
