330 GTC Luggage Straps

Post by enio45 »

What determines the color of the luggage straps on a GTC?

I have seen black straps with a tan interior and blue carpets - with blue exterior

I have see tan straps with a tan interior...........

Going to make some new straps for a clients car - so i have latitude to fix any errors.....

Currently it has black straps with the tan interior and the dark blue carpets.

We discussed going to the tan straps......but might be too much contrast to the dark carpet they lay on

Looking for advise please.......

My personal feeling is you can't go wrong with black straps. What color is the back panel below the window?

Yes, i can confirm the package tray is black in color.....

The straps in the car are black leather with sticking on the edges....ill get the pics (forgot) and chrome buckles.

They look to be a bit dry rotted - so plausible original to the car - and the buckles have a bit of corrosion on them.

We might go ahead and make the new ones - any thoughts on where to get the buckles?

OR....does someone make them ready to go?
