Interior beige codes. YU or VG?

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I like to complete the interior of my G60, which I start years ago to change enterily to beige color. I have trim doors, seats and other stuff, but in case of seats and trim doors I like to change it or repair it. What I didn't know is there are two tones of beige, so I don't know what to do, because I think I jave two colors... 

Is code YU clear and VG darker?

The interior had one code color or we can find both?

If you get the code it can be checked here. http://igorweb.org/equidec.aspx

I'm pretty sure it'll be the YU clear. It's rare and I've only seen them a couple of times, but there was a 'mushroom beige' I think was only available for early cars. It's a bit darker and a kind of mix between grey & beige.

My problem is I have two colors I think... Not sure if one of them it's original or what.

Sorry to rescue the thread. What I need to search in that page?
 

My Corrado doesn't came with beige interior. It's a think I start to do years ago, because I like Tornado Red Corrado combinated with beige interior. I have two or three beige colors. 

Which of them is most affordable to complete?

YU is coming up blank on that site now for some reason, but that's the stock beige colour as in the photo. 

 

I bought my dye from here;   https://www.liquidleather.co.uk/leather-dyes-c48/dyes-c91/leather-dye-1l-p144

In the options for checkout, it'll ask for the manufacturer and colour code. They have it on file so are able to mix it without you having to send something for them to match the colour against.

They don't make original covers, so you would have to buy a used interior in beige. That would mean seats, door cards, interior plastics (A,B,C pillar covers, handbrake tunnel and trims etc), and also carpet if you wanted to get everything. Leather standard seats in good condition are extremely expensive in the UK, Recaro seats even more so. My advice would be to dye what you already have or retrim the whole lot but that is also very expensive for a good quality one. Remember, they don't make beige cows so the leather is dyed from the factory anyway.

I have almost all the parts (took me yesrs collecting them). But my seats and panels are different colors, so Inwould like to complete the interior with the right ones (used, of course)

Thats because I asked about code colors, to focus only in one and most 'easy' to find.

The plastics are a slightly different colour. Have you tried deep cleaning the seats? There shouldn't be much difference in colour but sun bleaching may have lightened some parts. As mentioned, you can't buy replacement leather covers, so dying is the only option, which is all a specialist retrimmer would do or charge a huge amount to completely remake bespoke covers in the original pattern based off of your current ones. Your choice obviously depending on your budget.
