Hi
I'm planning swapping my black leather interior over to the cream leather, apart from the obvious seats and door cards is there anything fiddly doing this job or is it pretty straightforward?
Never had seats / interior out of an omega but done on plenty other cars so just in case there is any sticky bits.
Thanks

Scroll down to the interior section.
Might not be a specific link to swap the interior but there will be something for different items like the seats etc :y

Thanks, never thought of the guides bit, there is a few guides there I can look through.
Thanks

I just remembered the glovebox handle is broken and does anyone know what is involved in removing the lower dash panel(s) apart from the obvious stuff?
-
I also just found that I can still open the glovebox but the handle is like it has came off one of it's hinges. Is it easier to get to mechanism inside the glovebox lid?
-
Oddly enough, there's a guide ;D

Use it as an opportunity to upgrade. Heated rear seats and memory fronts are two easy add ons.
Dark carpet and door cards are easier to keep clean and look better for it, but the door cards can be broken down into constituent parts. Likewise, the lower dash panels can be swapped to match the door cards/seats.
Cream cars tend to have baby poo brown dash tops and upper door cards, so if you don't want to swap the dash just swapping the glovebox/fuse cover and door card inserts is an easy way to blend everything without it looking like a bodge job.

There's a glimpse of what I mean here, and possibly a better view in one of the related videos ;)

You can't remove the lid cover without first removing the glove box assembly.
To do that , you need to remove the left air vent assembly and the three bolts that hold down the pax airbag cover. Then it's only a few screws to get it out.

Thanks I missed that. The interior is already full spec elite heated rear and all that. Not sure if swap still going ahead but I've never been a fan of black leather (In a car anyway :y)
Trim code is XXLS, the seats are black but the glovebox handle looks more dark grey, I am colour blind so not sure if it's actually listed as black?

Charcoal is a very, very dark grey.
I hear what you're saying about the black leather, but if you swap the seats, filler panels on the door cards and lower dash trim it will give you a nice contrast. Especially if you use the opportunity to restore the door cards
