Allan - I would welcome your input. Got the swatches today and as you have mentioned on an earlier post it is really hard to make the choice. Like you I feel that as getting bespoke want something a little different but really don't want to be disappointed with the result. Regarding Bassa's choice the sky blue swatch is much darker than I expected and put with the Charcoal Grey we didn't like the result. If the effect could be the same as in Bassa's pictures then yes I would go for it. Interesting to see in his pictures that the plastic trim looks grey when it really is black so gives an indication and I note he did say that effect was darker in real life. Our current thought (may well change) is that the 2 colours of plastic trim are black and grey so bolsters etc. in black with middle seat facings in grey with perforations. Can you confirm your perforations are the smallest of the 3 choices - think they are from the pictures. However a little concerned if it will look OK or whether I should play safe with all black like yours which does look great. How is it wearing after some 16months -miles?
We thought about charcoal grey instead of black but as trim black doesn't seem right. Silver stitches whatever I think. Oh! Oh! decisions decisions - help!!!!!!!!!!
