interior colors

[Robert J Maguire]

Is there any documentation that would guide us in determining what colors the dash pads and steering wheels should be based on the exterior color chosen

thanks

Robert,

I have never seen a matrix showing interior color availability with an exterior color. Perhaps one of those $400.00 dealer showroom catalogs would contain that info.

In another post, you said you were painting the car black. The most common interior was code XA, black & white which was available with all colors. Never saw a bronze car with that interior that I can remember, but have seen it with every other color. Another popular interior with the black cars was code XH, solid red. The code XK, solid white, I believe was available with all exterior colors.

Are you changing the color and interior from what the data plate indicates?

If the exterior is black, and the interior is black & white as you suggest, then what color should the dash pad and steering wheel be,

originaly the car when I bought it was white with black & white interior, the steering wheel and dash pad was white as well

Robert,

Normally, a black & white interior has a black dash and black steering wheel. As I stated in my first response on another thread, it's possible to have a white steering wheel when there is a trim deviation. It is also possible to have a white dash also. ---BUT--- this could only happen on a late production car that has a "6" prefix on it's trim code.

I.E. If your data plate says 6XA or 6XK, that is the only way this combination would be legitimately from the factory. Please post your data plate info so we can help you.
