    Default How much Blue is too much Blue?!?!?

    I have a small problem. As most of you know my VT is the standard Bermuda Blue. I am looking at modifying my interior and well I'm stuck for ideas as to which colour goes with the Bermuda.

    Is it possible to over do it with the blue? Blue dash, Blue LED's in the cluster, Blue Footwells Blue etc? Will it look amazing or just bum out?

    If you have ideas as to which colour goes with the Bermuda, PLEASE, let me know

    Depends on "ur" tastes man check the ASR section 4 pics 4 the all blue LED dash conversion or even my own VT but u can easily just do somthing as simple as doin just the cluster in white LEDs and the rest blue or even mix n match as most do 2 break up the blue.

    If its just the dash facia surrounds that ur painting blue i dont think thats over board either but if u mean the whole dash pad ect... then yes lol

    blues an easy color,not like the bloody silver i got,the only color that goes good with silver is black or black,lol. but for you,what about black dash & carpet from a vx. do vx black door trims with a blue inset in cars colour. black hoodlining,side trims etc. then if moneys not a problem black leather sets from a vy for a bit extra comfort. with your cluster get a blue dial face thats a close match to car color,then a few blue leds tastefully placed here & there,switches etc. then ultra black tint the windows & your away

    no such thing as too much of one colour. my whole interior is orange. dash facia, doors, seats, roof liner is filled with orange leds, orange speedo, orange dash lights. I think it looks good, its all personal choice though
