G'day,

I often hear the terms Herringbone, Houndstooth and Golf Ball and I need an education.

What trim goes with what model and what exactly to they look like? I've got a fair idea of what they look like and a "sort of" idea of where they belong but I would like a definite answer if possible.

Is there a trim pattern for the higher end cars I am overlooking as well?

Cheers,

T

I found out on the internet that only LJ's had Herringbone, LH's had Houndstooth and LX's had Golfball. Is this correct?

Hopefully someone can confirm -
Houndstooth and Herringbone are patterns.
Golfball is texture.

Have asked Boomy if he has some pics.

LH's had Golfball vinyl as well, only black where as LX's were Grey

The LX's had Chevron Pattern Cloth inserts
The UC's had Velour Cloth.

You forgot to mention "Fashion Pack" too :badabing:

^ The Fashion Pack? Is that the tartan\flano looking cloth insert on the door trim and seats? If so I had it on an LX Sunbird and would love to have a Torana with it again, just to be different.

Here is a photo of the interior combination of my Contessa Gold LH SL/R 5000...

Trim is Gazelle Vinyl with Raydo Cloth Insert.

Posted Image

Door cards are Gazelle with a brownish (unsure of the colour) golf ball insert.

I am told that there would not have been many made in that colour/trim combination.

Excellent replies so far. This really does help when looking at trim and trying to work out what it is.

Yeah, thats the fashion pack alright.

I had yellow in my LX Sunbird and I have seen green as well. Blue would be cool though, with my standard issue flanno I would blend right into the seats, Predator style.
