Good Evening Gents,

I am just in the process of recovering the timber sections on my BJ8 hood frame.
The original was white..??.. vinyl
The car is BRG and the new hood is mohair in black.

Any suggestions as to best colour for the wrap on the wood sections with this combination?

As always thanks in anticipation.

Regards
Al

The original was an off white Vyanide (spelling?)
it was a leather look grained finish , it was very thin and most of the major suppliers of trim etc have a new look a like replacement .
