Picked up a new interior today... rare Gobi?

I picked up my 535IS about 6-7 months ago. It was definitely a fixer-upper. Someone had really hacked at it before me.

To this point, I've already replaced the suspension, wheels/tires, sensors, fuel pumps, tanks, etc... mostly out of necessity to get it running. Today, I finally swapped something because I WANTED to. The old pearl beige vinyl seats went out (which were incorrect for this car anyway) with a clean set of Gobi beige seats/panels, glove-box, and center console.

Even though they still aren't correct for the car, I'm much happier with them and thought I'd share with ya'll. I love the color combo.

Its a more eye pleasing color.

Are the lower door trim pieces and the door pulls brown?

If so, blue would really finish the look. I'm not a huge fan of a blue interior, but with that leather and door cards, and the exterior color. I'm 100% sold.

The door pulls and lower door carpet are black. I also have mocha for them... trying to decide which to go with for long term. I will likely dye my carpet black since it is the only blue interior left in the car - and it really sticks out like a sore thumb.

Lookin classy right there

If I had that interior, I'd swap all the mocha for blue. Something about it, just WORKS!

Funny thing... I might pick up an Alpine e24 with Gobi interior. Might have to find blue panels and such.
