wasnt m3 Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 I would do exactly what you described. Is there any way to tie some of the brown into the door cards? I always loved the natural brown e46 interior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straight6pwr Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 seats need to match the door door cards like stock e30s. get some that were the same tan color as the seats and dye em the same way. black dash (there is no option there) black carpet and black headliner. brown and black look great together. putting tan in there too will clutter it all up.

HipMF Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 I'd go with a patio theme. artificial turf carpeting, patio-style seats and christmas light headliner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 i'm with Dan, trade someone some tan door cards and dye them the same brown as the seats. At minimum see if you can get tan/brown door armrests or something to tie in some brown to the door like tj said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassboy3313 Posted February 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 The base material color does not matter when using the dye that I have. Whether the base color is black or tan, the brown will still turn out the same shade with complete coverage. Here is what the door cards look like (although mine arent as shiny). Now would a two tone look best with black on outer and brown on the inner "stripped" section or would 100% brown look best? Examples below. Then I take it people agree to dye the headliner black instead of keeping it tan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoungCR Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Only problem I see with two tone on your door cards is you'd have to mask the stripped section off and I wonder how clean the lines would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassboy3313 Posted February 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 You have valid points here. So then the question comes down to black door cards, brown door cards or maybe black cards with brown handle/armrest piece? Not sure how that would turn out tho.

straight6pwr Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 i like black pulls because they hide the hand oil stains, but brown will look really nice too. found some brown ones on ebay, they look great that way: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-e21-mocca-brown-front-and-rear-door-panels-with-handles-and-ashtrays-/131727654317?hash=item1eab947dad:g:2y8AAOSwoydWmn6h&vxp=mtr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassboy3313 Posted February 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Yeah i saw those too on ebay. I would worry tho that this brown wouldn't match the brown in my seats. If I were to go brown door cards, I would dye the ones I have the same color as my seats so its an exact match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straight6pwr Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 yeah i wasnt suggesting buying them, just finding an example of all brown door cards to see how it looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
