1. Leave as now - mostly mid-brown (see pictures above) with just the switch panels in the brighter Vavona.
2. Finish off the rear seat area by putting the Vavona trims on the top of each rear door and the small trim around the seat heater controls in the centre.
3. Extend option 2 to the trims on the front doors, but not the extensions to those that go onto the dash (short on the drivers side and long above the glovebox).
4. As 3 but also do the 2 trims on the dashboard missed out in 3 as it would look better. It appears to be difficult to do these . Leave all the centre console alone though.
5. Do it all. Bit of a mission but I reckon it could look nicer than the current mid-brown against the cream background.

What do y'all think?
